“Women Take Action: Using the Insights of Feminism to Change the World”
12 Feb 2013
Tuesday, February 12
Starhawk will speak at Northern Arizona University, in Flagstaff. Open to the public.
“Women Take Action: Using the Insights of Feminism to Change the World”
War, global violence, environmental degradation, social injustice… these are hard times for women, children, and all who hold compassionate and caring values. Nurturing and many other qualities and activities associated with women are devalued, while force and violence are held up as models of strength. But women represent a different vision of strength. Women-initiated and women-led actions have a special energy and power. That power comes not from excluding men—we welcome men as participants—but because of the joy and visionary potential that arise when women work together to fiercely defend the values of life.
In this talk, Starhawk speaks from her experiences as an organizer with Code Pink: Unreasonable Women for Peace; her work with Jewish and Palestinian women in the West Bank and Gaza; and her many years as a leading innovator in the Goddess revival and eco-feminist movements. How can the insights of feminism help us out of the mess we’re in today?
Sponsored by: Masters in Arts in Sustainable Communities; Program in Community, Culture & the Environment; and departments of Sociology, Women & Gender Studies, Communication, and Political Science.
Booksigning to follow.
Time: 7:30-8:30 p.m.
