Reimagining Equality: A Lecture with Anita Hill
Monday, February 27, 2012
Register online here.
This event is free of charge, but registration is required to attend.
For the entirety of her career, Anita Hill has been committed to securing justice and equality. Over twenty years ago she ignited a national discussion on sexual harassment with her testimony at the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings, and she has continued to broaden the conversation around race, class, and gender through her publications and teaching. This spring, we are pleased to bring Professor Hill to Barnard as the 2012 Helen Rodgers Reid Lecturer, a series that was inaugurated in 1975 to honor distinguished women in public life who have shown significant commitment to improving the lives of all women. Professor Hill will share her most recent work, Reimagining Equality: Gender, Race, and the American Dream. Exploring cultural ideas and ideals about the home as a site of social and economic security, she will discuss how our definition of the American Dream is tied up in the concept of "home," and what this means in our current climate of mortgage foreclosures and an ever-widening income gap. The event will be followed by a book signing. ...................................................................................................................................
