Screening of "Miss Representation" Begins Anniversary Year Celebration
Pittsburgh, Pa. - Carlow University is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Women's Studies Program by screening the film "Miss Representation," a documentary that explores how mainstream media contributes to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America.
The Women's Studies Program will sponsor the event from 6 p.m.- 8 p.m. on Thursday September 13, 2012 in Kresge Theater, located on the fifth floor of Grace Library, on the Carlow campus. The film will be followed by a panel of experts who will comment on the film and offer the audience to join the discussion. The event is free and open to the public.
In 1972 Ellie Wymard, PhD, the current director of Carlow's Master of Fine Arts program, founded Carlow's womens studies program and created a place for the study of womens experiences, histories and creativity. Carlow offers an array of women's studies courses and is the only institution in Pennsylvania that requires all its students to take a women's studies course as an undergraduate core requirement.
The event is sponsored by the Women's Studies Program. For more information please contact: Katie Hogan, PhD, Director of Womens Studies, at (412) 578-6391 or kjhogan@carlow.edu.
