Each March, the Margaret Morrison Distinguished Lecture in Women's History invites leading scholars to speak in celebration of Women's History Month. Join us for this year’s virtual alumni talk:
Looking Through the Speculum: Examining the Women’s Health Movement Featuring Professor Judith Houck
Please register by Tuesday, March 26. A livestream link will be included in the confirmation email. Questions? Please contact cmuevents@andrew.cmu.edu.
Judith Houck is professor and chair of gender and women’s studies and professor of history at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Her work focuses on the history of women’s health in the United States. Her most recent book — from which she draws this lecture — “Looking Through the Speculum: Examining the Women’s Health Movement,” was published in January and explores the political deployment of cervical self exams and how women reacted to the semi-public display of their privates.
The mission of the Margaret Morrison Distinguished Lecture in Women's History is to bring to campus cutting-edge scholars, who are at the forefront of their fields, for dialogue with faculty, graduate and undergraduate students as well as the broader community, showcasing the work of these scholars and encouraging innovative new research. The series is named for Margaret Morrison Carnegie, Andrew Carnegie's mother and the namesake of Carnegie Tech's historic women's college.
Carnegie Mellon University programs and events are open to all alumni, regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, handicap or disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, creed, ancestry, belief, veteran status or genetic information.
