[fvc-wat-announce] Fw: Reminder - Miss Representation Film Screening, Feb. 28, 7pm St. Jerome's

[Anita]

Passing this on to the Fair Vote list in case any of those who attended the "Menocracy" film screening last month are interested. The Women's Studies department was kind enough to pass word of Menocracy on to their association, some of whom attended, so I am returning the favour.

Thanks,

Anita

I don't know if this would interest you. It has relevance to questions around women in politics, obviously.  Not just methods of voting.


Dear Colleagues, 


Just a reminder of this event happening tomorrow - all are welcome!


Tuesday February 28th, 7pm (Siegfried Hall, St. Jerome's University)
Miss Representation


The documentary Miss Representation, by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, and aired on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.  The film explores how the media's misrepresentations of women have led to the underrepresentation of women in positions of power and influence.




Join us for a screening of the film and learn about a new project being launched where students will have the opportunity to empower others with their own stories of learning and transformation!
