The Wyoming Institute for Humanities Research strives to be an engine for producing interdisciplinary research in the humanities; a community for faculty, students, and the public; and a model of democratic education fit for our land-grant university.
This podcast is part of our Think & Drink series of talks, which are informal conversations by humanities faculty, researchers, and practitioners on a range of topics.
11 March 2021:
“Women and Politics”
This panel is co-sponsored by the UW Program in Gender and Women's Studies, and it will bring together experts on women’s political involvement throughout U.S. history. We will consider how women agitated for change through formal channels and outside of them, the gains women have made in the political arena, and the work that remains to be done.
Our panelists:
Dr. Kimberly Hamlin, Professor of History at Miami University and author of the just-released “Free Thinker: Sex, Suffrage, and the Extraordinary Life of Helen Hamilton Gardener.”
Dr. Tracey Owens Patton, Professor of Communications and Journalism and African American and Diaspora Studies at the University of Wyoming and author of “Gender, Whiteness, and Power in Rodeo: Breaking Away from the Ties of Sexism and Racism.”
Dr. Nancy Small, Assistant Professor of English at the University of Wyoming and author of the forthcoming book “Paradox and Agency in Transnational Spaces: White US American Women in Qatar.”
Dr. Rosemarie Zagarri, Professor of History at George Mason University and author of (among other titles) “Revolutionary Backlash: Women and Politics in the Early American Republic.”
This panel was moderated by Dr. Melissa Morris.
