Continuing education in the humanities is an extremely

important, yet often overlooked subset of higher education. Over the

years, BCRW has sought to support continued opportunities for feminist

learning through a diverse series of course offerings. Current and past

BCRW instructors, along with scholars of feminist literature, will

discuss the value of intergenerational feminist education. Panelists

include Leslie Calman, Heather Hewett and Stephanie Staal. This discussion,

moderated by Lori Rotskoff, took place on the first day of

Activism and the Academy: Celebrating 40 Years of Feminist Scholarship

and Action, a two-day conference held September 23-24, 2011 in honor of

the 40th anniversary of the Barnard Center for Research on

Women.
