In a Feb. 2 email to students from Prof. Sabine von Mering (WGS, CGES), Harleen Singh (WGS, ENG) and LeManuel Bitsóí (HSSP), the University invited the community to join in celebrating Women’s History Month. Established by Congress in 1987, Women’s History Month recognizes women's societal impact and contributions. At Brandeis, this legacy is reflected in the growth of the Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies Department. Brandeis also highlighted its feminist history through presenting influential scholars such as Angela Davis, Pauli Murray, Patricia Hill Collins and Anita Hill along with alumni including literary critic Elaine Showalter, sociologist and psychoanalyst Nancy Chodorow, physicist Evelyn Fox Keller, historian Joan Wallach Scott and Letty Cottin Pogrebin, the founding editor of Ms. Magazine. From March 3 to March 31, Brandeis will host lectures, panels, exhibitions and performances in celebration of these women, and the events will be hosted by different student organizations on campus. This includes events at the Rose Art Museum and the Women’s Studies Research Center. An ongoing exhibition titled “Who Will Draw Our History? Women’s Graphic Narratives of the Holocaust, 1944-1949” is currently being showcased at the Kniznick Gallery and will be displayed until April 30. The university additionally encourages engagement with their archival collections and database that documents the contributions and achievements of these women. The message concluded with a call for a campus-wide participation and a regard for honoring women’s history throughout the month of March.
