Please join us on Friday, September 30th,12:30-2pm for the first History of Women and Gender (HOWAG) seminar of the year. The talk will be held in Room 324 of KJCC (53 Washington Square South). Lunch will be served. The event is being co-sponsored by the History Department and the East Asian Studies Department.

Professor Harriet Evans of the University of Westminster will be presenting her recent work on the ways in which poor women in the Dashilar neighborhood of Beijing have responded and adapted to radical changes experienced over the last half century. Using the notion of investments in a reconfigured patriarchy, Dr. Evans explores the ways in which women anticipate and engage with shifting ground of poverty, state narratives, government institutions, and perceptions of power as well as male authority in the household and their own gendered responsibilities as wives and mothers.
