Dr. Natalie Fuehrer Taylor
Lee University will welcome Dr. Natalie Fuehrer Taylor for her lecture, “The Sisterhood is Powerful, But is it Global?: Feminism at Home and Abroad.” The event, hosted by Lee’s Department of History, Political Science and Humanities, will take place on Friday, March 18, at 5:30 p.m. in Rose Lecture Hall in the Helen DeVos College of Education.
"Dr. Taylor is a remarkable scholar whose insights on gender and politics are the product of a deep acquaintance with the history of ideas,” said Dr. Thomas Pope, assistant professor of political science at Lee. “Her research, while provocative, reminds us that our understanding of feminism in America is only the latest chapter in the rich story of Western Liberalism.
Dr. Taylor is an associate professor of government at Skidmore College in New York. She earned her doctor of philosophy and master’s degrees in political theory from Fordham University. She has published “The Rights of Woman as Chimera: The Political Philosophy of Mary Wollstonecraft” and an edited volume titled “A Political Companion to Henry Adams.”
At Skidmore, Dr. Taylor teaches courses on United States government institutions, feminist political thought, and American political thought, among others.
Friday evening’s event is sponsored by the Charles Koch Foundation, established in 1980 by Charles G. Koch in order to advance social progress and well-being through the study and advancement of economic freedom.
Everyone is welcome to attend the lecture which will be followed by a brief Q & A. For more information, contact the Department of History, Political Science and Humanities at 614-8137.
