Monday, March 30, 1 p.m. MDT 鈥� 鈥淥pportunity and Frustration: The Women of the St. Louis Hegelian Movement and Concord School of Philosophy鈥�
禄 Featuring Dr. Tim McCune, Dr. Katherine Douglas, and Dr. Sharla Chittick

Late-19th-century philosophical thought in America was increasingly shaped by the idealisms of Kant and Hegel, and many American women philosophers were deeply informed by these German philosophers. Join Dr. Tim McCune from General Education to talk about some of the women associated with several prominent philosophical societies and 鈥渟chools鈥� of the time, including the St. Louis Hegelians and the Concord School of Philosophy. While it was an almost unprecedented opportunity for women to study, discuss, and publish philosophical works, German idealism spoke little to these women as women. However, it greatly influenced their views concerning women鈥檚 rights, religion, history, and pedagogy, and left an indelible mark on American education. Dr. Katherine Douglas and Dr. Sharla Chittick will then highlight examples of female philosophers around the world who have not received the historical attention of their male counterparts.

Monday, March 30, 3 p.m. MDT 鈥� A Place for Women and Women in their Place: Discourses of Women in Culture, Economics, and Politics
禄 Featuring Dr. Kristi Johnson, Dr. Stan M. Landry, and Dr. Erinn Nicely

Women鈥檚 history comprises the significant roles that women have played in society and culture, but it also includes how women have represented themselves and have been represented in literature, media, and scholarship and seeks to understand how ideas and institutions are gendered as masculine and feminine. This interdisciplinary panel considers how discourses of women and gender have functioned in cultural, economic, and political spaces by examining the history of Women鈥檚 History Month, women in medical and marketing discourses, and the gendering of political space in times of conflict and peace.

Tuesday, March 31, noon MDT 鈥� 鈥淔orgotten Histories, Feminist Agency, and Invisible Heroines: Exploring Representations of Gender in Children鈥檚 Literature and Society鈥�
禄 Featuring Dr. Colleen Halverson, Dr. Kim Cohen, and Dr. Susanne Goethals

This discussion will explore questions about the representation of gender in children鈥檚 literature and society: How can the forgotten histories of early children鈥檚 literature written by women help us to contextualize current literature? How can third-wave feminist theory help us as contemporary readers and citizens? What do trends in contemporary children鈥檚 book awards tell us about women鈥檚 and girls鈥� value in society? How can we weave these historical and theoretical views together to create a more inclusive set of reading and teaching practices? Join Dr. Colleen Halverson and Dr. Kim Cohen from the 黑料传送门 Teachers College and Dr. Susanne Goethals from General Education for this dynamic discussion of feminist approaches to children鈥檚 literature and society, including these topics, connections to the classroom, and opportunities for discussion.
