Cafe Bob Thursday: Student Research and Public History

You are invited to attend the last Café Bob of the semester on Thursday, December 7 at 11 a.m. in KAU Tower. Come enjoy a donut and beverage and hear students from History 201 “The Craft of Public History” share their virtual exhibition on nineteenth-century gender roles. In particular, they will explore how the influence of scientific and medical popular thought, combined with existing Christian religious ideas from the 1830s–1890s, contributed to the reinforcement and reformulation of gender roles and sexual freedom. The exhibition uses biographies, pamphlets, medical manuals, and etiquette books—culled from the Josephine Long Wishart Collection: Mother, Home and Heaven and housed in Special Collections at the College of Wooster Archives—in order to shed light on the progressive and conversely, stagnant, gender expectations.

Hope to see you there!

Stand with DACA Students Demonstration TUESDAY 9/12

I write to share an announcement from Proyecto Latino inviting you to show your solidarity with Wooster’s DACA students and others affected by the end of DACA:

*************************

“In the wake of the Trump administration’s recent announcement over the end of DACA, it is imperative for the Wooster community to come together in solidarity with DACA recipients and undocumented immigrants both at Wooster and nationwide.
Tomorrow (9/12), we are are planning to show our support with a demonstration. We will gather to take a group photo at Kauke Arch at 10:50 am, then walk to Lowry and stand along the sidewalks holding signs of solidarity. We will also have members of the campus community speak.
Make some posters and spread the word.
