Bemidji State University invites the public and media to celebrate Women’s History Month by attending a culmination keynote presentation and dinner in Beaux Arts Ballroom on March 30 from 5:30 – 8 p.m.
Dr. Maria Bevacqua, professor of gender and women’s studies at Minnesota State University Mankato, will present a keynote titled “Gender Justice and the Supreme Court.” Her talk will cover the historical challenges that impact women’s equality and what can be done to continue that pursuit of equality.
“This event will shed light on the current and continuing activism and research women do that address inequalities in the world,” said Dr. Jozie Nummi, assistant professor of sociology and event organizer, said. “I am very excited for the opportunity to dedicate time and efforts to include the wider community in these important conversations.”
BSU faculty and staff coordinated several events throughout March for the campus and Bemidji communities around the theme of “reimagining justice,” honoring women-led movements addressing missing and murdered Indigenous women and women and members of the queer community experiencing discrimination, sexual harassment and oppression.
The event is free and open to the public and media.
