WGS/CTL/CAMS: "The Modernist Womb"
Description
The Program for the Study of Women, Gender, and Sexuality will be co-sponsoring a talk by Antonia Lant, a professor of cinema studies at New York University, on "The Modernist Womb." This talk has been organized by Professor Anne Eakin Moss in collaboration with the Department of Comparative Thought and Literature and the Center for Advanced Media Studies.
Antonia Lant is author of Blackout: Reinventing Women for Wartime British Cinema (Princeton 1991) and editor of The Red Velvet Seat: Women's Writings on the First Fifty Years of Cinema (Verso 2007).
