Sorry for the late notice. Join us this evening and tomorrow for talks by Dr. Margaret Willson, Affiliate Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology and Canadian Studies Center's Arctic Program at the University of Washington.
Tonight:
"What Defines Survival? The Seawomen of Iceland", Thursday, Nov 03, 2016, Clearihue Building A203, 7:30 p.m.
Margaret Willson has been conducting research with Icelandic seawomen for several years. She is currently Affiliate Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology and Canadian Studies Center’s Arctic Program at the University of Washington. In Iceland, women have worked at sea for centuries alongside men and alone. They have commanded boats and been lauded for their abilities. But today in Iceland, this history is almost invisible. Why? Margaret Willson explores the vivid history and current situation of these women. Their experiences bring up questions about how we all create... history and even our reality.
Co-sponsored by SJS and Beck Lecture Series on Icelandic Literature
