Camilla Stivers: Why Can't a Woman be Less Like a Man

Wyoming Institute for Humanities Research welcomed Distinguished Guest Lecturer Camilla Stivers to deliver "Why Can't a Woman be Less Like a Man" at University of Wyoming on November 14, 2016. Recent decades have seen increasing numbers of women in U. S. public service as elected and career officials. Yet progress has been slow, a glass ceiling remains, and women’s salaries have continued to lag behind men’s. Prof. Stivers unpacks some of the taken-for-granted gender assumptions that continue to restrict women’s public activities and highlight some of the contributions women have made to the public good as they struggled to find an equal place in public service. Camilla Stivers, PhD, has had a multi-decade career in public service: 20 years as a practitioner in community-based nonprofit organizations, and more than 25 years as an academic, teaching at The Evergreen State College (Washington State) and Cleveland State University. She retired from full-time teaching in 2008 but continues active scholarship. Currently she is editor of a public administration book series for University of Alabama Press, entitled “Public Administration: Criticism and Creativity.” The mission of the Wyoming Institute for Humanities Research (WIHR) is to promote, support, and showcase humanities scholarship across the university and the state. In addition to sponsoring invited speakers, events, discussion groups, and fellows, WIHR supports individual and collaborative research projects, as well as more specific individual needs related to research projects. WIHR encourages the engagement of UW humanities faculty with local, national, and international scholarly communities and engages in critical reflection on the nature of the humanities and their role in a civil democracy. The institute will tap the potential of the humanities to invigorate faculty interactions, enrich teaching, and deepen the connection between the university and the state.
