The Douglass Century: The Transformation of the Women’s College at Rutgers University
By Rutgers’ faculty Kayo Denda, Mary Hawkesworth, and Fernanda Perrone. Published by Rutgers University Press.
Come meet the authors, alumnae and Douglass faculty as they share reflections on Douglass’ history. Join us and get a free copy! Douglass is the only college for women that is nested within a major research university in the United States. Although the number of women’s colleges has plummeted from a high of 268 in 1960 to 38 in 2016, Douglass is flourishing as it approaches its centennial in September 2018.
To explore its rich history, Kayo Denda, Mary Hawkesworth, and Fernanda H. Perrone examine the strategic transformation of Douglass over the past century in relation to continuing debates about women’s higher education. In addition to providing a comprehensive history of the college, The Douglass Century brings its subjects to life with eighty full-color images from the Special Collections and University Archives, Rutgers University Libraries.
Kayo Denda is the head of the Margery Somers Foster Center and the women’s studies librarian at the Rutgers University Libraries, New Brunswick, NJ.
Mary Hawkesworth is a distinguished professor of political science and women’s and gender studies at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ.
Fernanda H. Perrone is an archivist and head of the Exhibitions program, Rutgers University Libraries, New Brunswick, NJ.

Historians on Hamilton discussion at The New School
Historians on Hamilton discussion at The New School
March 26, 2018 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

The New School, Tishman Auditorium

New York, NY 10011
In February 2015, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton: An American Musical debuted to critical acclaim and became an instant hit. But just how historically accurate is it? Does Miranda’s hip-hop take on the Founding Fathers offer a bold and positive vision for our nation’s future, or does it misrepresent the past? Can a musical so unabashedly contemporary still communicate historical truths about American culture and politics? And is Hamilton as revolutionary as its creators and many commentators claim?
Please join us Monday, March 26th at the John L. Tishman auditorium located at 66 west 12th street, from 6:00pm – 8:00pm for a special performance and a night of lively discussion with editors Claire Bond Potter and Renee C. Romano, contributors Brian Eugenio Herrera, Jim Cullen, Elizabeth Wollman, Lyra Monteiro, and Jim Cullen, moderated by Parsons Professor of Art History and Lafayette biographer Laura Auricchio.

Dana Malone From Single to Serious Joseph-Beth Booksellers event
Dana Malone From Single to Serious Joseph-Beth Booksellers event
March 27, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
161 Lexington Green Cir, Lexington, KY 40503, USA
Dana Malone talk/signing at Joseph Beth Booksellers - Lexington, KY location
College students hook up and have sex. That is what many students expect to happen during their time at university—it is part of growing up and navigating the relationship scene on most American campuses today. But what do you do when you’re a student at an evangelical university? Students at these schools must negotiate a barrage of religiously imbued undercurrents that impact how they think about relationships, in addition to how they experience and evaluate them. As they work to form successful unions, students at evangelical colleges balance sacred ideologies of purity, holiness, and godliness, while also dealing with more mainstream notions of popularity, the online world, and the appeal of sexual intimacy.
In From Single to Serious, Dana M. Malone shines a light on friendship, dating, and, sexuality, in both the ideals and the practical experiences of heterosexual students at U. S. evangelical colleges. She examines the struggles they have in balancing their gendered and religious presentations of self, the expectations of their campus community, and their desire to find meaningful romantic relationships.

Dana Malone Book Talk at the University of Kentucky
Dana Malone Book Talk at the University of Kentucky
March 28, 2018 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
University of Kentucky, Taylor Education Building Room 122
Book Talk at the University of Kentucky - College of Education, Educational Policy and Evaluation Department (EPE).
"Legislating Love: Breaking Down the Regulatory Matrix on American Evangelical Campuses"
Based on research at two American evangelical universities, Dana Malone examines “the regulatory matrix” that undergirds the relational marketplace and social milieu on campus. Malone unpacks this concept with a focus on key content areas, such as the sexual purity imperative, modesty expectations, and prescriptions for gendered and religious presentations of self. During this session, Malone looks at the ways in which students adapt and arbitrate in the midst of this multifaceted matrix as well as how regulating agents and structures impact the landscape of relationships on campus. Through the lens of dating and mating, Malone explores the, at times awkward, dance between institutions and the students who populate them, citing some of the unintended consequences and counterproductive effects of campus policies and practices.
