“Women’s Art: Women’s Vision.” That’s the theme for a series of event events celebrating Women’s History Month at Clayton State University.
“In this series of events we celebrate women as artists and visionaries who inspire us and move us forward,” explains Dr. Deborah Deckner, assistant professor of Psychology and chair of the Clayton State 2008 Women’s History Month Committee.
In this case, a “month” runs from a musical kick-off celebration on Monday, Mar. 10 through to a discussion on pregnancy in the workplace on Tuesday, Apr. 8. All Women’s History Month Events at Clayton State are free (with the exception of the Women’s Forum Luncheon) and all are open to the public.
The Mar. 10 musical kickoff will run from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and will feature Clayton State music faculty members Dr. Michiko Otaki and Dr. Kurt-Alexander Zeller, plus additional Clayton State University faculty and students. The Musical Kick-off Celebration will be held in the Choral Room of Spivey Hall.
On Wednesday, Mar. 12, Clayton State’s unofficial poet laureate, Dr. Brigitte Byrd, assistant professor in the Department of Language and Literature, will perform selected readings from her book, “The Dazzling Land” in room UC 272 of the James M. Baker Center from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
