Lectures, discussion mark 20th anniversary of women's studiesPrinceton NJ -- The Program in the Study of Women and Gender will mark its 20th anniversary this year with three events planned for the coming weeks. Originally called the Program in Women's Studies, the academic unit was approved by the University faculty in 1981. Kay Warren, a 1974 Graduate School alumna, was appointed founding director in 1982. According to its Web site http://www. princeton.edu/~prowom, the program "provides a forum for intellectual exchange on issues of gender relations and sexual politics." It also offers "a variety of courses, lectures, exhibitions and research opportunities relating to questions of gender, sexuality and society." For more information on the program, see "By the numbers" on this page. The events scheduled will feature several women who have taught in the program and were on campus in its early years: • "Thinking Back Through Our Mothers," a panel discussion on the origins of women's studies at Princeton, is set for 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15, in 2 Robertson Hall. Participants will be: Maria DiBattista, English and comparative literature; Suzanne Keller, sociology; Christine Stansell, history; Froma Zeitlin, classics, comparative literature and Jewish studies; and Mary Harper, Society of Fellows in the Liberal Arts. The moderator will be Deborah Nord, English, who directs the Program in the Study of Women and Gender. A reception will follow in the Shultz Dining Room. • Francine Blau, the Frances Perkins Professor of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University, will present a lecture on "Reflections on Feminism and Economics" at 4:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 18, in 2 Robertson Hall. • A lecture titled "What Difference We Made: Starting Women's Studies" is slated for 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 12, in 2 Robertson Hall. The speaker will be Natalie Davis, the Henry Charles Lea Professor Emerita at Princeton and adjunct professor at the University of Toronto.
