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.
25 March 2021:
“Women at Work”
This panel considers how women’s labor has been historically devalued and how they have fought to make it more visible; women’s campaigns for improved labor conditions, and in particular childcare; how COVID-19 has derailed some of these gains. This week's Think & Drink is co-sponsored by UW's program in Gender and Women's Studies.
Our panelists:
Dr. Anna K. Danzinger Halperin, Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in Women's History and Public History at the New-York Historical Society. Dr. Danziger Halperin is a historian of public policy, gender, and childhood, and teaches in the joint N-YHS and CUNY School of Professional Studies Museum Studies program.
Dr. Nick Juravich, Assistant Professor of History and Labor Studies and Associate Director, Labor Resource Center at University of Massachusetts, Boston. Professor Juravich’s research interests include labor history, public history, urban history, the history of education, and the history of social movements in the twentieth-century United States. He teaches courses on labor and working-class history, public history and public memory, the history of public schooling, and the history of Greater Boston.
The panel will be moderated by Dr. Melissa Morris.
