Free & open to the public.
Every March celebrates women's history—commemorating and encouraging the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in American history. Every year EIU's Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program organizes a month of programming including a keynote speaker to deliver a lecture on the given year's theme. Dr. Teresa Milbrodt will explore this year's theme of Monstrous and Feminist Others by reading from her fiction and discussing her interest in disability and sexuality.
