Race, Gender, and Political Representation

March is Women’s History Month and our March Spotlight on Diversity is Black Feminism. Kirsten Widner, assistant professor of political science, will present her award-winning research on the unique representation women of color bring when they are elected to public office and will highlight the crucial role Black women play in promoting the interests of marginalized communities.

Angie Batey, associate dean of diversity and inclusion, College of Arts and Sciences, will moderate the discussion.
