COLONNADES UNVEILING. WEDNESDAY at 7:30 in the TROLLINGER HOUSE (the brick house across the tracks from west end).

When: This coming Tuesday, April 20 at 6:30 p.m.

Where: McEwen 011

What: “Slut, A Journey to Get a Word Banned”

About the film: It’s just one word – but it is sexist, discriminative, and extremely powerful. Being labeled a ‘slut’ can destroy a woman’s self-perception, irrevocably tarnish her reputation and even drastically alter her destiny. This film explores the root of the word and traces its evolution through interviews with academics, feminists, physicians, and authors, as well as women that were called “slut.”

The discussion afterward will be facilitated by Michelle Trim.
 

Friday, October 30

3-5 p.m. (drop in any time)

(And don’t forget your can of food…)

Her fiction has been published in many literary magazines, including The New Yorker and The Atlantic Monthly.

The New York Times had this to say about her: “Her prose reads as if it grew up drinking water that had been fluoridated with traces of John Updike and Ann Beattie.”  Pretty good, huh?
