About the Faculty Showcase: This year’s Showcase is an opportunity to learn about the role technology is playing in teaching, learning, and research across the College. A series of posters will be on display to highlight innovative work being done by over fifteen Simmons College faculty members.
This Week: Mary Jane Treacy
DEPARTMENT: Women’s Studies
POSTER TITLE: Greenwich Village 1913: Suffrage, Labor and the New Woman
In Greenwich Village 1913: Suffrage, Labor, and the New Woman, students take on the roles of historical figures to debate how women could emerge from their domestic roles; how workers could obtain fair living conditions or even leadership of a workers’ democracy; and how “old-stock Americans” might respond to massive immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe. Students also discuss how African-Americans could thrive during this period, which has been described as the nadir of race relations in the North.
On April 23rd, from 3:00-5:00 in the Kotzen room, Simmons faculty and staff are invited to attend a Faculty Showcase and reception. As part of the lead-up to the Faculty Showcase we are spending some time each week to spotlight the innovative work that will be shown at this year’s Showcase.
