Three contributors to feministing.com — Vanessa Valenti, Samhita Mukhopadhyay and Miriam Perez — will be speaking next month in Iowa City.
The event, “A Conversation with the Editors of Feministing.com,” is part of an annual observance by the Women’s Resource and Action Center at the University of Iowa of International Women’s Month. The trio will speak on a panel at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 9, in 100 Phillips Hall.
The event is free and open to the public.
Some of the questions the panelists plan to address:
- How is the failing economy changing gender roles?
- What’s up with the sexual climate on college campuses? Is hooking up really tantamount to sexual liberation?
- Is there such a thing as “women’s issues” anymore?
- How can we heal intergenerational and interracial tensions after the contentious 2008 presidential election?
- Is feminism today still a bona fide movement? If so, where’s the “moving?”
