The Women's and Gender Studies Program sponsors various events each semester for students, faculty and staff, and the larger community. We bring nationally-prominent feminist speakers to campus, we host informal gatherings, and we offer field trips to events in other communities.

A current list of programs offered this semester is included below, along with an archive of past events. Note that events are listed in reverse chronological order, so scroll down!

The Mommy Wars, Opting Out, and To Hell With All That: The Public Controversies Surrounding Motherhood

College of Charleston campus | Wednesday, Nov. 15, at noon | Arnold Hall in the Jewish Studies Building | free and open to the public

Claire Curtis (Political Science, CofC), Conseula Francis (English, CofC), Eliza McGraw (author of Two Covenants: Representations of Southern Jewishness; Washington, DC)

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? is motherhood a valid career choice? which mothers should feel guiltiest?). Panelists will offer feminist perspectives on the public debates surrounding motherhood today. Feel free to bring your lunch.
