Event Descriptions:

In fall 2013, in collaboration with the ASUO Women’s Center and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies, the Center for the Study of Women in Society presents a three-day celebration of feminist research, activism, and creativity at the University of Oregon across four decades and beyond. Tracing a trajectory of feminist history and creativity in the past, present, and future, the celebration includes:

Documentary Premiere: “Agents of Change” – Thursday, Nov. 7, 3-6:30 pm, featuring guest speakers and a new documentary film honoring agents of change at the University of Oregon and their legacies of feminist research, teaching, and activism.

Symposium 1: “Women’s Stories, Women’s Lives” – Friday, Nov. 8, 9 am-5 pm, exploring four decades of feminist research and activism through five interwoven themes: women’s rights, violence against women, women’s health, activism and policy, and education and employment. Instead of formal papers, guest speakers will share personal narratives, visual illustrations, and dialogue to illuminate some of the local, cultural, and global issues at stake across forty years of women’s lives.

"A Conversation with Ursula K. Le Guin" Friday, Nov. 8, 6:30-9pm, a public reading and dialogue with the world-renowned science fiction author. DOORS OPEN 6 PM FOR TICKETED SEATING.

Symposium 2: Sally Miller Gearhart “Worlds Beyond World” – Saturday, Nov. 9, 9 am-5 pm, exploring feminist creative production and the roles of science fiction and utopian ideas in imagining feminist futures, with special guests Suzy McKee Charnas, L. Timmel Duchamp, Molly Gloss, Andrea Hairston, Joan Haran, Alexis Lothian, Vonda N. McIntyre, and Kate Wilhelm.

The celebration is sponsored in part by the Center for the Study of Women in Society, the Department of Women's and Gender Studies, the Sally Miller Gearhart Fund, and the ASUO Women's Center.
