Vivyan Adair, the Elihu Root Peace Fund Associate Professor of Women's Studies and director of the ACCESS Project at Hamilton College, gave lectures during October at Lafayette College, St. Louis University and North Seattle College. Her talk, "The Missing Story of Ourselves: Poverty and the Promise of Higher Education" was delivered at each college in conjunction with the ACCESS Project's nationally touring gallery exhibit of the same title.
The exhibit consists of 50 color photographs accompanied by brief, compelling narratives that tell the story of single, welfare-eligible parents in their own words and images as they transform their lives through college education. The exhibit will be on display at galleries at each of the colleges for the next month.
