In this article from the March 9, 2006 edition of The Dickinsonian,
Michelle Hadley reports on Dickinson's commemoration of International
Women's Day with a panel discussion on women's situations across the
globe, hosted by the Clarke Center and the Women's Center, as well as a t-shirt sale to benefit the Global Fund for Women.
A lecture was given by Christopher Simpson on March 25, 1997 in Weiss Center for the Arts about "Comfort Women" who were victims of sexual enslavement during World War II. The talk accompanied an exhibit in the Trout Gallery on the same subject. The talk was sponsored by the Sociology, History, and Anthropology Departments, the Women's Studies and International Studies Programs, the Clarke Center, the Commission on the Status of Women, and the Trout Gallery.
The Women's Studies Program and the Clarke Center sponsored Jo Freeman, a
noted author, speaker and political activist, to speak on women's
political issues in a talk titled, "Feminism vs. Family values: Women in
the Democratic and Republican Parties."Â The talk took pace in Memorial
Hall on December 4, 1996.
