Barnard welcomes Ericka Huggins, photographer Stephen Shames, Angela LeBlanc-Ernest, and former members of the Black Panther Party, Yasmeen Majid and Claudio Chesson-Williams, to Barnard College in celebration of the new book Comrade Sisters: Women of the Black Panther Party. Our panelists will talk about the diverse and crucial roles women played in the Black Panther Party, followed by a moderated Q&A and book signing. Free and open to the public (in person and online). 

RSVP for non-Barnard/Columbia community members and Zoom attendees is required.

As part of the Jeanne Clery Lecture Series, the 17th annual lecture will focus on the broad theme of "believe survivors" in the context of intersectionality. Although there has been much discourse regarding the narratives of those who have experienced sexual violence, the conversation has not centered on the experiences and perspectives of individuals from marginalized communities. Through this event, we hope to explore the disparities in accessing resources for people with different identities and how we might amplify their voices. 

The Jeanne Clery Lecture Series was established by Constance Clery BC '53 and Howard Clery, Jr. in memory of their daughter, Jeanne Clery. 

This event is sponsored in part by Being Barnard, and Health & Wellness at Barnard.

Sara Zewde of Harlem-based Studio Zewde will give the inaugural Norma Merrick Sklarek Lecture at Barnard College on Wednesday, March 29. The Norma Merrick Sklarek Lecture honors Barnard alumna Norma Sklarek, one of the first Black women architects in the US, by inviting current groundbreaking and influential designers to campus to be in dialogue with our community. Following Sara Zewde’s presentation, alumna Elsa MH Mäki CC’17 will moderate an expanded conversation. Karen Fairbanks, Claire Tow Professor of Professional Practice and Chair of the Architecture Department, will introduce the event, and the program will be followed by a wine and cheese reception.

Sara Zewde is founding principal of Studio Zewde, a design firm in New York City practicing landscape architecture, urbanism, and public art. Named to Architectural Digest's AD100 and an Emerging Voice by the Architectural League of New York, the firm is celebrated for its design methods that sync culture, ecology, and craft. In parallel with practice, Sara serves as Assistant Professor of Practice at Harvard University Graduate School of Design and is currently writing a book on her research retracing Frederick Law Olmsted's journeys through the Slave South. Sara holds a Master in Landscape Architecture from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, a Master in City Planning  from MIT, and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Statistics  from Boston University.  
 
Norma Merrick Sklarek attended Barnard in 1944-45 and graduated from Columbia with a Bachelor of Architecture in 1950. In 1980, she became the first Black woman elected to the American Institute of Architects College of Fellows. Breaking barriers throughout her career, her influence continues to resonate today.
 
The Norma Merrick Sklarek Lecture is sponsored by The Barnard Architecture Department and has been made possible through the generous funding of the IDC Foundation with additional support from the Barnard Provost’s Office.

Join CSSD’s Women Creating Change for a livestream viewing party to celebrate Campus ERA Day. We will be livestreaming the event and interacting with panelists. The goal of this event is to spread awareness of and to gain support for the reviatlized push to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment to the United States Constitution. In 1923, the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was introduced in Congress to ensure that women were equal under the law and prevent sex-based discrimination. Almost one hundrd years later, the United States Constitution still does not guarantee equal rights for women!

Women Creating Change presents:

Description

Despite gains in recent years, gender and racial disparities in the corporate sector, especially in its higher echelons, remain significant in the United States and Europe. This round table will explore successes and limitations of policies to promote diversity and inclusion. Panelists will identify successful strategies but also roadblocks and unintended consequences, and raise the issue of how backlash and stasis might be addressed.
