Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University attended the February 9, 2019\u00a0Angela Davis lecture hosted by the BU Undergraduate Sociology Association. The event was titled, &#8220;Angela Davis: Violence Against Women and Its Ongoing Challenge to Racism.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Pardee Women\u2019s Group was created to help build and foster relationships between the Pardee School\u2019s female students (inclusive to non-binary students as well as \u201cmale allies\u201d), faculty, and greater community through networking events, speaker series, and a variety of volunteer activities. This PWG led initiative to interact with the larger BU community resulted in a dozen PWG members jointly attending the Davis talk proceeded by an after-action conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Though highly controversial, the Angela Davis event spoke to a variety of hot topic issues including the importance of inclusive feminismt, LBGTQ, and anti-capitalist policies. Davis also discussed the importance of female led-initiatives, the power of community, and how gender and race must be viewed through a dynamic, intersectionality-focused lens.<\/p>\n<p>When asked what advice she would give to a younger self, Davis said she wished she had been open to more causes, such as being a vegetarian. She suggested to the audience that they too be more open.<\/p>\n<p>The PWG is a safe-space for all religions, ethnicities, and sexual-identities.<\/p>\n<p>For information about upcoming events\u00a0or for general inquiries visit the Pardee Women\u2019s Group\u00a0<span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/PardeeWG\/\">Facebook page<\/a><\/span>\u00a0or email\u00a0<span><a href=\"mailto:PardeeWG.BU@gmail.com\">PardeeWG.BU@gmail.com<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pardee Women\u2019s Group (PWG) attended a recent Angela Davis lecture and and held an after-action conversation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11588,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[8414,8416],"tags":[11087,11138,11136,11137],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/pardeeschool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36851"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/pardeeschool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/pardeeschool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/pardeeschool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11588"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/pardeeschool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36851"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/pardeeschool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36851\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36857,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/pardeeschool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36851\/revisions\/36857"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/pardeeschool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36851"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/pardeeschool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36851"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/pardeeschool\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36851"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
