SUMMARY:Daughters of Liberty: Gender and the Politics of Revolution
DESCRIPTION:DAUGHTERS OF LIBERTY – GENDER AND THE POLITICS OF REVOLUTION: The American Revolution promised a new political world. But what place did women hold in that world? This talk explores how the Revolutionary era’s popular culture celebrated female patriotism while also defining the boundaries of women’s political power. From boycotts and battlefield support to the ideal of the “Republican Mother\,” we’ll consider how ideas about femininity and masculinity shaped the meaning of liberty itself. By tracing both opportunity and constraint\, this lecture invites the audience to reflect on how Revolutionary-era debates about gender continue to echo in American civic life today. All are welcome from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in the Ruth Haas Library on the Midtown campus.

SUMMARY:Poly-Victimization: Connecting the Dots with Intimate Partner Violence Webinar
DESCRIPTION:POLY-VICTIMIZATION – CONNECTING THE DOTS WITH INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE WEBINAR: The Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion is promoting this virtual event from the Justice Clearinghouse for Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2025. \nThose who experience crime are not a monolith\, and many victims of crime can experience multiple types of victimization. A one-size-fits-all approach leaves many victims\, especially those experiencing intimate-partner violence\, without the services and support they need. \nService providers need to understand poly-victimization and how it impacts survivors’ experiences with the programs at all levels and work to find the right resources and support mechanisms to serve victims best. \nLearning Outcomes:\n-Understand how poly-victimization plays a role in the way that victims experience the justice system.\n-Identify potential gaps in services for those who experience poly-victimization.\n-Identify three trauma-informed strategies service providers can use to support victims. \nThis virtual event is from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Register to attend at https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/poly-victimization-connecting-the-dots-with-intimate-partner-violence/?source=regpage
