Winter 2014, CSWS Research Matters: “I have come to my garden”: Ancient Jewish Constructions of Space and Gender—by Deborah Green, Greenberg Associate Professor of Hebrew Language and Literature, Department of Religious Studies; Director, Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies.

Editor’s Note: Caroline Heldman and Danielle Dirks were invited to the University of Oregon campus as part of the 2013-14 Lorwin Lectureship Series, presented by the Center for the Study of Women in Society. Because of a winter storm, all events were cancelled on the UO campus that day. CSWS was able to videotape a brief portion of their planned talk in a studio situation.

Fembot’s February Books Aren’t Dead (BAD) interview couldn’t come at a more important time, especially in light of last month’s Elk River chemical spill in Charleston, West Virginia.

“We’ve come a long way and we’ve got a long way to go,” Jenée Wilde, one of the main organizers of the 40th anniversary said. “What’s very revealing to me is that there are a lot of attitudes that we still need change in our country about women and about women’s ability to succeed. And how hard women have to work to prove that they are equal to men.”
