ORONO — Domestic violence, imprisoned mothers, women migrant workers and families in Cuba are among the topics scheduled for discussion during the University of Maine’s Women in the Curriculum and Women’s Studies Program brown bag lunch series this semester.
The series is designed to share the work being done on women’s issues in the community and to interest students in taking Women’s Studies courses, as well as to encourage faculty to teach such courses and to incorporate material on women into the rest of their curriculum.~
The programs also showcase the women’s studies scholarship being done on campus by faculty members, students and staff, and demonstrate to the community the breadth and depth of intellectual and cultural work done on women’s issues. Campus/community cooperation is an important feature in this semester’s series.
Unless otherwise noted, programs will be held from 12:15-1:30 p.m. in the Memorial Union’s Bangor Lounge.
The schedule of discussions follows:
