The Kirkland Project the Study of Gender, Society and Culture at Hamilton College has announced two upcoming lectures for September. Both are free and open to the public.

Paula Rothenberg, director of the New Jersey Project on Inclusive Scholarship, Curriculum, and Teaching, will give a lecture titled "Learning to See the Squirrels: Multicultural Curricular Perspectives and Critical Thinking," on Tuesday, Sept. 11 at 4:15 p.m. in Dwight Lounge, Bristol Campus Center.

Rothenberg will be on campus as part of Hamilton's Hewlett Pluralism and Unity grant for curricular development around issues of diversity. She is professor of philosophy and women's studies at The William Paterson University of New Jersey where she has taught since 1969.  Funding for this event has been provided by the Hewlett Grant.  For more information, call the Kirkland Project at 859-4288 or email us at kirkproj@hamilton.edu.

On Thursday, Sept. 13 at 8 p.m. in the Chapel, Lorene Carey will give a lecture titled, "Living to Tell the Tale," a discussion of her experiences as an African-American woman teaching in elite educational institutions.

Cary is author of such works as Black Ice (1991), a memoir of her years first as a black female student, and then teacher, at St. Paul's, an exclusive New England boarding school; The Price of a Child (1995), an Underground Railroad novel; and, most recently, Pride (1998), a novel told through the voices of four friends. The New York Times Book Review describes it as "subtle, ididosyncratic characters whose personalities seem utterly, and affectingly, distinctive."

In 1998 Lorene Carey founded Art Sanctuary, a lecture and performance series created to bring excellent black artists and thinkers to speak, perform, demonstrate and run workshops at the Church of the Advocate, a National Historic Landmark Building in North Philadelphia.  Its first season, which included such artists as John Wideman, Terry MacMillan and hip-hop recording artists The Roots, won Philadelphia Magazine's best series award for 1999.

Currently a lecturer in creative writing at the University of Pennsylvania, Cary has lectured throughout the U.S.  Funding for the event has been provided by the Dean of Students Office, HEOP, the Dean of the Faculty's Office, the President's Office, the Kirkland Endowment Advisory Committee, and the Teacher Education Program.  For more information, call the Kirkland Project at 859-4288 or email us at kirkproj@hamilton.edu.
