2019 Paula U. Hamburger Endowed Lecture: Maureen Cummins

Description

Maureen Cummins's 20-year body of work explores how throughout history sexualized violence has been used as a tool of patriarchal oppression. Exploring concerns of the #MeToo movement, Cummins will also examine the way in which all groups—including men—have been targeted by sex-based division and discrimination.

The presentation will be followed by a Q&A and an opportunity to view examples of the artist's work from the Sheridan Libraries Department of Special Collections.

Admission is free and open to all. Light fare will be provided before and after the lecture.

This event is organized by the Sheridan Libraries as part of Johns Hopkins University's Women's Suffrage Centennial Commemoration. It is presented by the Winston Tabb Special Collections Research Center and the Friends of the Johns Hopkins University Libraries.

The Paula U. Hamburger Endowed Lecture was established in 2003 to honor the late Paula Hamburger's devotion to Johns Hopkins University's libraries by her son, John Greenspan, and granddaughter, Katie Applefeld.
