Seminars: Feminist Responses to Motherhood
This semester WGS will be sponsoring two interdisciplinary faculty seminars related to motherhood. These informal gatherings are meant to highlight current feminist research and facilitate interdisciplinary conversation.
"The Modern-Day Medea": Motherhood and Politics in the Case of Susan Smith
Thursday, Sept. 28, 3:15 p.m., Arnold Hall
Keira Williams, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Georgia and WGS instructor at CofC, is researching the Susan Smith case for her dissertation, "'In a Lake of Fire': Cultural Constructions of Susan Smith." Smith, the Union, SC, woman who killed her two children in 1994, is now serving a life sentence in prison in SC. Williams is the only person to have been granted interview access to Smith.
The Mommy Wars, Opting Out, and To Hell with All That: The Public Controversies Surrounding Motherhood
Wednesday, Nov. 15, 12:00 p.m., Arnold Hall
Motherhood is a hot topic these days, with regular missives from the mainstream media creating new controversies around old questions (should mothers work outside the home? which mothers should feel guiltiest?). A panel of faculty members will offer feminist perspectives on the public discourse surrounding motherhood today.
