Pardee Women’s Group Hosts Screening of RBG
The Pardee Women’s Group (PWG) at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University hosted their inaugural event on October 25, 2018 — a screening of the film RBG.
The Pardee Women’s Group was created to help build and foster relationships between the Pardee School’s female students (inclusive to non-binary students as well as “male allies”), faculty, and greater community through networking events, speaker series, and a variety of community-building activities. The goal of the Pardee Women’s Group is to both empower and educate women and to encourage equal classroom participation.
The Pardee Women’s Group welcomes both undergraduate and graduate Pardee School students, but will focus on topics such as gender based discrimination in the classroom and work force, and will serve as a resource for students struggling with work-life balance and deciding what to do after leaving the Pardee School. Additionally, the Pardee Women’s Group promises to be a champion for socioeconomic inclusion and encourages all types of classroom diversity.
RBG explores the life and career of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her lengthy legal legacy as well as her role as pop culture icon. Pizza and refreshments were served at the screening,
