R-MC Hosts “In a Just Society, Would We Need Love?”

Robin Payne

On Tuesday, March 1, 2011, Randolph-Macon College will host guest lecturer Robin Payne, who will present “In a Just Society, Would We Need Love? Second-Wave Feminisms and the Politics of Romantic Love.” The lecture will take place at 7:00 p.m. in the Washington Room of Washington-Franklin Hall. This event is free and open to the public.

Payne, a visiting professor of history at West Carolina University, will explore how second-wave feminists understood the problem of romantic love and politicized that emotion in their struggle toward gender equality in post-WWII America.

This lecture is part four of the “Edgy Women” series and is sponsored by R-MC’s First-Year Experience program, honors program, and departments of history, art history, sociology, women’s studies and political science. It is also sponsored by the Committee on Assemblies and Special Events (CASE).
