Description
The UMBC Humanities Forum presents Kathy E. Davis, Institute of History and Culture, Utrecht University, The Netherlands, who will speak on "Feminism as Traveling Theory: The Case of Our Bodies, Ourselves." Beginning in the 1970s, the feminist classic book on women and health, Our Bodies, Ourselves, not only has had an enormous impact on feminism in the U.S., but it has been taken up, translated and adapted by women across the globe. Drawing upon Edward Said's concept of "traveling theory," Kathy E. Davis will explore the book's world-wide travels, showing how it was transformed in the process of its many border crossings, and how it provides useful insights for how we think about history, the politics of knowledge, and transnational feminism.
4 pm, Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery, 7th Floor. Admission is free.
The Korenman Lecture is sponsored by the Gender and Women's Studie Program with the support of the James T. and Virginia M. Dresher Center for the Humanities.
