SUMMARY:Representing Gender in Court: Juridical Women in the Time of Boccaccio's Madonna Filippa (Decameron 6.7)
DESCRIPTION:Boccaccio’s character Madonna Filippa brilliantly defends herself in court against an adultery charge—and dodges a cruel capital punishment. Readers have long assumed that since medieval Italian women had no place in court\, Filippa’s story must be an ironic parody. This presentation inserts Boccaccio’s heroine into her historical context of medieval northern Italy\, where several women jurists rose to prominence in legal studia and yeshivas. The rich lore surrounding 14th c. Novella d’Andrea and her peers overlapped with ancient narratives that inspired Boccaccio\, like Valerius Maximus’ account of the oratrix Hortensia. Modern readers have yet to fully appreciate Boccaccio’s deep interest in women’s voices at law\, but one prominent medieval reader\, Christine de Pizan\, recognized Boccaccio’s engagement with the real and pressing issue of women’s participation in the discourses of justice.

SUMMARY:Polish Communist Spies\, the CIA\, and the Road to NATO Expansion with John Pomfret
DESCRIPTION:As the United States cobbles together a coalition to undo Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait\, six US officers are trapped in Iraq with intelligence that could ruin Operation Desert Storm if it is obtained by the brutal Iraqi dictator. Desperate\, the CIA asks Poland\, a longtime Cold War foe famed for its excellent spies\, for help. Just months after the Polish people voted in their first democratic election since the 1930s\, the young Solidarity government in Warsaw sends a veteran ex-Communist spy who’d battled the West for decades to rescue the six Americans. John Pomfret’s gripping account of the 1990 cliffhanger in Iraq is just the beginning of the tale about intelligence cooperation between Poland and the United States\, cooperation that one CIA director would later describe as “one of the two foremost intelligence relationships that the United States has ever had\,” and one that paved the way for NATO’s eastward expansion. \nRaised in New York City and educated at Stanford and Nanjing universities\, John Pomfret is an award-winning journalist and writer who worked with the Washington Post for decades. Pomfret was a foreign correspondent for 20 years and spent eight years covering big wars and small in Afghanistan\, Bosnia\, Congo\, Sri Lanka and Iraq. Pomfret spent seven years covering China—one in the late 1980s during the Tiananmen Square protests and then from 1997 until the end of 2003 as the bureau chief for the Washington Post in Beijing. Pomfret is the author of the best-selling “Chinese Lessons: Five Classmates and the Story of the New China” (1996). His book\, “The Beautiful Country and the Middle Kingdom: America and China\, 1776 to the Present” (2016) was awarded the 2017 Arthur Ross Award by the Council on Foreign Relations. His new book\, “From Warsaw With Love: Polish Spies\, the CIA and the Making of an Unlikely Alliance” was published in October 2021. \nRSVP HERE

SUMMARY:Leading From Behind – How Angela Merkel Shaped German Gender Politics
DESCRIPTION:We know a lot about Angela Merkel as a leader in international politics; we know much less about how the first woman chancellor saw herself and acted as a woman leader. This talk\, based on a volume co-edited by Prof. Lang with Prof. Petra Ahrens (Tampere University\, Finland) and Prof. Phillip Ayoub (University College London) captures Angela Merkel’s legacy in gender equality. We argue that Merkel mostly led from behind on gender equality\, with mixed success. Only in her fourth term did she acknowledge the particular challenges that women leaders face in domestic and international politics. \nAbout the Speaker: Prof. Sabine Lang is Professor of European and International Studies at the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington and Jean Monnet Chair of Civil Society\, Inclusion\, and Diversity. She directs the European Union Center and the European Studies Program at UW. Prof. Lang’s research is aimed at the intersection of states and societies in national and transnational environments with an emphasis on public voice and advocacy in the European Union. She works on the role of gender in politics with a special emphasis on the political representation of women and the advocacy of women in Europe.
