Join us at Tulane for a talk:
Catherine Bolzendahl is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of California, Irvine. Her work stands at the intersection of political sociology and the sociology of gender, framing gender as a fundamental basis of inequality and source of societal change. She is affiliated with the Center for the Study of Democracy, the Center for Demographic and Social Analysis, and the Center for Organizational Studies. She is also affiliated with the Master’s Program in Public Policy and the Department of Gender and Sexuality Studies.
Her ongoing work focuses on better understanding the institutionalization of gender within political organizations and legislative institutions, with a recent publication in Gender & Society and a chapter in a forthcoming edited volume with colleagues Amy Alexander and Farida Jalalzai. Their book Measuring Women’s Political Empowerment across the Globe (forthcoming with Palgrave) brings together a international group of scholars and is the first theoretical treatment of the diverse, multi-level, international issues at the center of measuring women’s political empowerment. Other ongoing projects include an examination of comparative support for same-sex parents with Simon Cheng and Brian Powell, and an examination of support for equal representation for women and Māori in New Zealand with Hilde Coffé.

The movement continues. Our timely, exciting, and original production returns as the fight for gender equity gains strength. Join us as we reflect on the progress initiated by women who dared to persist, journeying through the three waves of feminism to bring monumental moments in 'herstory' to life. Watch the layers unfold as dancers portray the trials and triumphs generations of women have faced in an eclectic arrangement of storytelling. Meet the unyielding Suffragists who paved the way, our own Nola Sazerac Stormers, the role reversing Rosie the Riveters, 'bra burners’ who fought to pass landmark legislation, the evolved working woman, the objectified woman. HerStory highlights the rise of the modern movement for justice, where empowered women around the world have marched for humanity and change. Voices are raised, conversations are increasing, and actions are being taken to say Time's Up against sexual harassment and gender inequalities. Experience our unique production that is moving, celebratory, thought provoking, humorous, provocative, and certainly healing. Onward!
HerStory audiences rated their experience a 4.9 out of 5 and called the show “Amazing!”, a “Great and relevant performance”, and “Extremely inspiring and enlightening”!
