Cynthia Enloe Speaks on Globalization
In celebration of Women’s History Month, the Government Department, in partnership with the Women’s and Gender Studies Program, welcomed Cynthia Enloe, activist, professor in the Department of International Development, Community, and Environment at Clark University, and Director of Clark University’s Women Studies program. A prominent scholar, Enloe has written extensively on women and militarization. Her books include The Curious Feminist: Searching for Women in a New Age of Empire, Bananas, Beaches, and Bases: Making Feminist Sense of International Politics, and Maneuvers: The International Politics of Militarizing Women’s Lives. Enloe, whom Professor Judy Dushku described as “a modern day Simone de Beauvoir” for her ability to speak her mind even in the face of adversity, gave a lecture on Thursday, March 6th, on the role of globalization and its impact on women.
