Event Details:

Dr. Jane Parpart wil be presenting her talk entitled "Rethinking Silence, Gener, and Power in a Turbulent World".

Description: Silence is no longer simply a symptom of powerlessness. It has emerged as a tool for empowerment, an alternative source of protection and power. Silence has become a form of action, often intertwined with voice, but powerful on its own. Dr. Parpart will discuss this more complex understanding of silence and voice in order to evaluate gender in insecure sites.

Dr. Parpart's visit is a part of the GPID editiors series. Reception to follow in the Erickson Kiva from 2:30 - 3:30pm.
