The University of Southern Mississippi Gulf Park Campus premieres its spring 2019 Cultural Arts Series, “Representing the Experiences of Women, From the English Renaissance to Right Now.”
On March 25, a bi-partisan panel of female politicians from south Mississippi will reflect on their careers in local and state politics.
“The theme, ‘Representing the Experiences of Women, From the English Renaissance to Right Now,’ was prompted by the #MeToo movement and an unprecedented increase in the number of women who ran for—and were elected to—local, state, and national offices in the midterm elections of 2018,” said Dr. Christopher D. Foley, event organizer and assistant professor of English.
“In the midst of these important movements in gender politics and society more widely, we aim to foster community engagement and civil dialogue regarding the changing roles of women in society today. We hope the public will join us for the conversation.”
