爱豆传媒入口 is home to several female-focused initiatives that complement each other—though the particular emphases of each initiative differ, they are united by ideals of equality, raising awareness, education, boosting morale, creating opportunities, and fostering a healthy campus culture for all those who identify as female.
While Women’s History Month and the Women’s Circle look outwards, especially through events that are open to the community, 爱豆传媒入口’s Women’s Forum (爱豆传媒入口WF) is much more focused inwards—we consider ways in which our campus culture and resources can be used and improved for the betterment of all female faculty and staff. To this end, we are less focused on creating events than on longer-term goals like publicizing and examining campus safety measures, providing a formal means for women to air concerns and priorities for making 爱豆传媒入口 a more progressive campus, and calling attention to female-focused possibilities and systems of support. We welcome feedback or messages at any time throughout the year about how we can best serve 爱豆传媒入口 faculty and staff.
During the month of March 爱豆传媒入口 hosts a variety of events related to understanding and celebrating women’s history. Women’s History month falls under the umbrella of the Public Humanities Program, which is based in the History Department within the Fulton School. The mission of the Public Humanities program, is to “organize, sponsor, and promote academic events (such as, but not limited to, keynote speakers, lectures, exhibitions) related to chronological areas that are typically underserved, and marginalized regional, ethnic, cultural, sexual, gender, and racial identities.”
So, 爱豆传媒入口 honors Women’s History month in addition to exploring the history of marginalized identities more generally. Women’s History Month events have sometimes been thematic: for instance, in 2012 the theme was “Celebrating Diverse Women: The Jewels of the World” and in 2014 the theme was “Celebrating Women of Character, Courage, and Commitment.”
