Educator, writer and independent consultant Gayatri Sethi drew on excerpts from her book, ‘Unbelonging,’ to deliver the Women’s History Month keynote address on Wednesday, March 15, at the Hurley Convergence Center’s Digital Auditorium.
There’s something perhaps as powerful as the stories being shared during this year’s Women’s History Month – the ones that are not.
“If our feminisms are not inclusive, expansive and intersectional, are they feminism after all?” Gayatri Sethi asks. “When we speak of women’s empowerment … are we reinforcing gender binaries or erasing queer and trans folks?”
These are the types of questions Sethi posed – urging listeners to interrogate, reflect and consider the foundation of feminism – in her keynote speech for the University of Mary Washington’s Women’s History Month celebration. The talk took place at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 15, in the Hurley Convergence Center’s Digital Auditorium.
Women’s History Month also includes a Great Lives lecture on Anne Frank at 7:30 p.m. tonight, March 14, at Dodd Auditorium in George Washington Hall. Other events planned throughout March, and hosted by the James Farmer Multicultural Center (JFMC), are listed below. Read more.
