TO CELEBRATE WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH IN MARCH, PURCHASE COLLEGE, SUNY WILL PRESENT FREE LECTURE ON FEMINISM, REVOLUTION, AND LIBERATION

Feminism. Revolution. Liberation. These have been the rallying cries for over a century in the United States, and now in many countries abroad. And with March being Women’s History Month, what better time to re-examine these timely topics?

On March 28, Purchase Professor Marjorie Miller’s lecture looks at women’s liberation from the multiple vantage points of the U.S. and Asia. With her expertise as a professor of philosophy, gender studies, and Asian studies she will examine what it means to be “liberated” around the world in this year’s Mary Edwards Memorial Lecture “Telling Stories of Liberation: When Liberation Means Different Things, or, Am I Liberated?” The free lecture will take place from 4:30 to 6 pm at the college’s Student Services Building, 0129 Multi-Purpose Room (Red Room). 

Miller has been a professor at Purchase College for more than 30 years.  She previously taught at Fudan University in Shanghai, China, where she held a Fulbright Fellowship for two years in the mid 90’s, and at Pusan National University in Korea, where she also held a Fulbright.

His aspirations for Purchase were to combine on one campus conservatory training in the visual and performing arts with programs in the liberal arts and sciences. Today, Purchase College, SUNY is a community of students, faculty, and friends where open-minded engagement with the creative process leads to a lifetime of intellectual growth and professional opportunity.
