Portraits of Wollstonecraft, 1787-2017
Mary Wollstonecraft's life and ideas have been represented in portraiture and other art since the very beginning of her public career to the present, thus making her into an icon--both for (post)modern feminisms and in (post)modern forms of art.

Show Some Skin
: Try Us
will be held on
February 22, 23, and 24 at 7:30pm in the Debartolo Performing Arts Center
. The special performance at the South Bend Civic Theatre will be on April 7 in collaboration with Indiana University South Bend students. This year’s performance places a special emphasis on moral imagination. We have dared our writers and actors to emerge with something that will try our capacity for empathy, and we know our audience will be challenged as we have been.
Given the current climate and the role that university campuses can play in facilitating constructive dialogue on crucial issues around mental health, race, gender, poverty, sexual assault, etc., Show Some Skin plays an indispensable role in initiating, enhancing, and over all, humanizing these necessary conversations on our own campus and broader community. Over the past years we have successfully created a space where dialogue on these essential issues are brought to the forefront and conducted in a constructive and thoughtful way. The art form we employ has also proved to have the most potential in facilitating needed changes to our campus climate. We aim to elevate the conversation, giving a human voice and face to topics that are all too often reduced and weaponized for tribal political machinery.
It has been a great six years and as we look to ensure that
Show Some Skin: Try Us
is a successful performance.

Gender Studies is about understanding people, both yourself and others. Gender Studies teaches us how human identities are shaped by gender and related traits such as sex, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, religion and nationality. Through Gender Studies, we not only strive to understand people better, but because of this endeavor, we hopefully become more understanding people.
