ERA OF EXPRESSION

Expression is never neutral. It exists alongside expectations about gender, professionalism, respectability, and power. This Women’s History Month, the Women’s Center welcomes you into an Era of Expression: a collective invitation to explore voice, self-advocacy, creativity, and the courage to challenge systems that decide whose perspectives are heard and valued. Together, we seek to better understand the forces that shape how we see ourselves and one another, and to reclaim our agency in defining, discovering, and expressing our most authentic selves. Whether through art, dialogue, leadership, or everyday acts of authenticity, expression connects us to one another and to our own power. How are you expressing yourself this month?

Check out our lineup of events below to celebrate Women’s History during March and beyond!
