“From Michelle Bachmann to Michelle Obama: Gender, Difference, and Power”
Thursday, September 22
7 p.m., Cohen Auditorium

Dr. Harris-Perry is professor of political science at Tulane University and is author of the recently released book, “Sister Citizen: Shame, Stereotypes, and Black Women in America” in which she argues that persistent harmful stereotypes—invisible to many but painfully familiar to black women—profoundly shape black women’s politics, contribute to policies that treat them unfairly, and make it difficult for black women to assert their rights in the political arena. She is also the founding director of the Anna Julia Cooper Project on Gender, Race, and Politics in the South. This event is open to all Tufts students, faculty, administration, and staff. One ticket per valid Tufts ID and tickets may be picked up at the Campus Center Information Booth. Any remaining tickets will be available to the public at Cohen Auditorium at 6 P.M. on the night of the lecture.
