Transmit Culture: Modern Feminism in Publishing

PSU - Cramer Hall 1721 SW Broadway, Portland, OR, United States

Modern feminism plays a vital role in today's high-stakes political climate. Reproductive rights, sexual harassment and assault, wage inequality, gender identification, and inclusivity are only a few of the topics that have been frequented in recent political discussions. With movements like #MeToo and #TimesUp shaking up conversations about women in America, this installment in the Transmit Culture lecture series will be a panel of women in publishing discussing the intersection between modern feminism and book publishing. The panel features Leni Zumas (Red Clocks), Samm Saxby, and Jackie Shannon Hollis (This Particular Happiness). Note this will be held in room 328 in Cramer Hall.
