Lipstick and Pigs: A Feminist Presidential Roundtable
October 21, 2008 
4-6:00PM, Browsing Room Knight Library, UO
For the first time in US history, a white women and an Africa American man have emerged as viable contenders for both president and vice-president. In many ways, this election is a crucible for understanding the intersecting nature of gender, race, and class in contemporary society, both in terms of what is being debated, as well as issues that have remained on the margins of public discourse. This round table brings together feminists from a variety of scholarly fields and professions to consider the complexities for the campaign and feminist responses to it.  
Cosponsored by Women's and Gender Studies and Center for the Study of Women in Society
