By Lindsey Piercy
Two faculty members at the University of Kentucky have been appointed to the Kentucky Advisory Committee of the United States Commission on Civil Rights (USCCR).
Dear Friends,
While at UK, Joan Callahan touched the lives of generations of our students and impacted this College and University profoundly for the better. It was my great honor to induct her in the A&S Hall of Fame in 2010. I asked her good friend and colleague, Patty Cooper, to write a note about Joan that I could share with our faculty. Patty consulted with a few colleagues and wrote the tribute below. Joan will be greatly missed by our community.
==================================
GWS is offering two sections of GWS 201: Gender and Popular Culture in the second summer session (June 20-Aug 1).
GWS 201 examines the role of popular culture in the construction of gendered identities in contemporary society. We will examine a wide range of pop culture forms [including movies, music, video games, and tv] to illustrate how femininity and masculinity are produced, represented, and consumed.
