As part of Women’s History
Month, this endowed public lecture features Dr. Tara Bynum (University of
Iowa), a leading scholar of Phillis Wheatley and Women’s intellectual history.
Dr. Bynum will explore how Wheatley’s work, and the broader intellectual labor
of women, shaped the foundations of the United States, offering a powerful lens
on women’s history as a living archive at a moment when the nation reflects on
its 250-year history.
This lecture is presented by
Gender Studies and is endowed by the Karen Levin Coburn ’63 Endowed Lecture
Fund.
