Do we still need women's history?
Panel Discussion
Wednesday, March 11, 12:00 - 1:00 pm
Vermont History Museum, 109 State Street, Montpelier
Moderated by Cary Brown, the executive director of the Vermont Commission on Women, our panel of esteemed historians and thinkers will consider the questions facing women's history in the 21st century. Do we still need to separate out women's stories? Does it help or harm women when their history is told separately? Is there a trend away from studying women's history as a separate topic? How can the context of women's history help inform the world today?
Panelists include Dr. Felicia Kornbluh, Director of Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies at the University of Vermont, Dr. Marilyn Blackwell, independent historian, and Holly Allen, Assistant Professor of American Studies at Middlebury College.
This program is free and open to the public, thanks to sponsorship from Clute Wealth Management, the Vermont Commission on Women and co-sponsorship by Cabot Creamery Cooperative.
