2015 Women’s Research Colloquium

On behalf of the President’s Commission on the Status of Women (PCSW), we invite you to the 2015 Women’s Research Colloquium which will be held on Thursday, April 16 from 5:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.at The Pointe in the Walter Pyramid. The 2015 Women’s Research Colloquium will feature two presenters:

• Dr. Bonnie Gasior from the Department of Romance, German, Russian Languages and Literatures – “Monstrous Women in the Literary World of María de Zayas (1590-1661).”
• Dr. Courtney Ahrens from the Department of Psychology – “A Victim Centered Approach to Addressing the Rape Kit Backlog: Best Practices for Re-Engaging Survivors with the Criminal Justice System” 

We are honored to host both Dr. Gasior and Dr. Ahrens and are eager to learn more about their research.

The Women’s Research Colloquium is the signature event of the PCSW and creates a venue to learn about research done by women and/or research related to women’s issues and concerns. The Colloquium highlights the talent and knowledge of the presenters and provides an opportunity for the entire campus community to learn about their work and engage in discussions about their findings. The Colloquium is also a time when we honor individuals and community organizations for their actions that improve the well-being of women.

Please consider attending the PCSW Women’s Research Colloquium. Dinner will be served. Sponsorships are also available to cover the fee for students. For event flyer details, please click here.
