Pioneer Mother: Race, Gender, and the Politics of Public Monuments in the U.S. West<\/h6>\n

Dr. Brenda Frink, Research Associate, The Michelle R. Clayman Institute for Gender Research at Stanford University, will lecture on \u201cPioneer Mother: Race, Gender, and the Politics of Public Monuments in the U.S. West.\u201d The Pioneer Mother<\/a> monument has been part of the UO campus since 1932.\u00a0Dr. Frink\u2019s current book project, Pioneers and Patriots: Race, Gender, and Historical Memory in California, 1875-1915<\/em>, is a history of pioneer-themed patriotic societies in Gilded Age and Progressive Era California. The activities undertaken by these organizations\u2014including historical and natural preservation, parades and public rituals, and the creation of public artwork\u2014provide a case study for examining historical attitudes toward race, gender, and national belonging.<\/p>\n

Dr. Frink\u2019s talk is sponsored by the UO Center for the Study of Women in Society, with co-sponsorship from the Departments of Ethnic Studies, History, and Women\u2019s and Gender Studies.<\/p>\n
