March 30, 2010 at 10:00am - 11:30am

Location: CC 288

Herkimer County Community College’s Diversity Committee announces a presentation, “Hatred and Violence Perpetuated Against Women in the Name of Tradition” by Lisa Elwood-Farber, Assistant Professor of English at HCCC.

The presentation will discuss cultural traditions, the language we use and the political agendas that mask hatred against women and children which perpetuate violence against them, worldwide. Elwood-Farber stresses that women’s rights need to be universally accepted as human rights, but that making that happen in a world that continues to view women as inferior seems a daunting task.
