Women's Liberation at the University of Michigan, 1968-72 Panel Discussion

The conversation will be moderated by Karla Goldman and is part of IHP’s project site Outsiders, Insiders, Radicals, and Reformers: A History of Jews at the University of Michigan.

In coordination with the project site and two Fall IHP courses—on Jews in U-M history (taught by Deborah Dash Moore) and women in U-M history (taught by Gayle Rubin)—the panel will explore the emergence of feminist consciousness, the activism it sparked in Ann Arbor and on campus, and why Jewish students and faculty were so deeply involved in these efforts.

Schedule
Panel Discussion and Q&A: 6–8 p.m.
Reception with light fare: 8–9 p.m.


This is the second event in IHP’s Insiders and Outsiders series, following a March program featuring food writers (and U-M alums) Joan Nathan and Ruth Reichl with Zingerman’s co-founder Ari Weinzweig.

This event is co-presented by the U-M Inclusive History Project and the Jewish Communal Leadership Program. It is co-sponsored by the Women’s and Gender Studies Department and the Jean & Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies’ David W. Belin Lecture Fund. The Belin Lecture Fund is named after David W. Belin, a businessman, public servant, and leader within the American Jewish community.
