    In the spirit of community consciousness-raising groups of the 1970s, the Women's Studies and Gender Studies program aims to create a space where community members facilitate dialogues and learn more from each other around essential topics of contemporary feminism. Our inaugural lecture series provides an opportunity for the Loyola community to foster an environment in which feminist ideas thrive. Our presenters are current and former students, staff, and faculty addressing topics and issues impacting both our campus and the larger Chicago community.

    Documenting Women's History
    A generous donation of Ms. magazines inspired the Women's Studies and Gender Studies program to host a conversation about documenting women's history. Looking at the stories featured in the magazine decades ago, WSGS wants to discuss the importance of documenting women's contributions to art, politics, activism, and everyday life. We ask: Whose stories are recorded? Who determines which stories take precedence over others? How do historians, archivists, photographers, writers, and other recorders take on the responsibility of shaping history?

    Featured guests leading the discussion:
    Jeremy Bucher, MA student, History;
    Elizabeth Fraterrigo, Associate Professor, History;
    Nancy Freeman, Director of Women and Leadership Archives;
    Rebecca Parker, MA student, Digital Humanities;
    Tanya Stabler Miller, Assistant Professor, History
