The exhibition seeks to examine how biological, social, and cultural categories, such as gender, race, class, ability, and other axes of identity, interact on multiple and often simultaneous levels, contributing to systematic social inequality.

    “Soaring High—Women in Flight”

     R. Benjamin Wiley Arts & Science Center @ 200 Cooper Circle, Edinboro, PA 16444
     

    Dr. Irene Fiala, Department of Sociology
    R. Benjamin Wiley Arts and Sciences Center, Room 107

    In 1903, the Wright Brothers took their first flight. Women soon followed into the field of aviation and have made significant contributions since then. While almost everyone has heard of Amelia Earnhardt, few have heard of the many women throughout aviation history who have challenged gender role stereotypes and fought institutionalized discrimination. These women include pilots Bessica Raiche, Bessie Colman, Harriet Quimby, and Vicki Van Meter and astronauts Sally Ride and Judith Resnick. In 2010, out of 627,588 pilots in the U.S., 6.73% were women (FAA). Additionally, as of 2012, a total of 56 women have flown in space, 45 of them from the U.S.

    This talk will look at the roles women have played, and the challenges they have overcome, in U.S. aviation history.

    Time Management and Strategies Workshop

     The StARTup Incubator
     

    Wednesdays, March 6 & 13 (2 sessions), from 6:00-9:00p.m.
    The StARTup Incubator, 423 Plum Street, Edinboro

    The balancing of time, craft, business and organizing for entrepreneurs (or anyone) can be tricky and a frustrating menagerie of diverted energy that does not promote the entrepreneur’s vision and goals for their project or business. There will be discussion of time management itself, how to utilize time effectively in the short term and long term.

    The two classes will include discussions, presentations, thought-provoking activities that are fun and useful for planning, along with the opportunity to work up a rough draft for the participants/entrepreneurs to utilize for a business, creating art, writing a paper or just getting a better handle on time itself.

    Sponsored by Edinboro's Entrepreneurial Learning Center and a PASSHE grant, all students, faculty and staff are eligible to attend these workshops free of charge. However, space is limited, so please call 814-732-2544 to make your reservation. For more information, visit www.startupincubator.org.

    Gender Archaeology: Women Uncovering Women's Prehistory

     Frank G. Pogue Student Center - Scot Cinema @ 405 Scotland Road, Edinboro, PA 16444
     

    Ms. Stacy Dunn, History, Anthropology, & World Languages Dept.
    Frank G. Pogue Student Center, Scot Cinema

    Archaeology is the study of human behavior and cultural change in the past. For most of its existence as a discipline, however, there has been a strong bias towards the studying “man” rather than “humans.” Archaeology has in fact been a primarily male-dominated field focusing on the actions of ancient man. Even today, archaeology is the last subfield of anthropology to narrow the gender gap; the majority of university appointments and contract positions are filled by men, and school curricula list courses with titles like “Man Before History.” In this talk, I will discuss some of the earliest female archaeologists who contributed significantly to our understanding of the ancient world. These women had to overcome the challenges of excavating in countries where traditional societies did not generally permit women to have leadership or public roles, during times when there were few educational opportunities or careers open to them. In addition, we will examine how the introduction of gendered and feminist perspectives into anthropological theory has enabled archaeologists to recognize the importance of women in the ancient world, providing a more complete understanding of our human past.

    The Women of Zombie Cinema

     Frank G. Pogue Student Center - Frank Zahorchak Seminar Room @ 405 Scotland Road, Edinboro, PA 16444
     

    Dr. Roger Solberg, English & Theatre Arts Department
    Frank G. Pogue Student Center Seminar Room 143

    Since the 1930s, almost all of the greatest zombie films have been built around a central female character.  Sometimes, she is a passive, frightened victim, pursued by the living dead. Other times, she is a strong, take-charge figure.  And occasionally, the woman herself is the zombie. This lecture will trace the evolution of zombie movies and the women who make them memorable. We will watch scenes from White Zombie (1932), I Walked with a Zombie (1944), Teenage Zombies (1959), Carnival of Souls (1962), and Night of the Living Dead (1968), as well as scenes from some 21st century zombie epics. Hold on to your brains!
