Third Symposium
"Feminism and International Politics: A Conversation with the 'First' Ambassadors"
Feminism Now: A Discussion Series Designed to Expose/Excite/Reunite
Hosted by Honors Humanities' Gender Caucus and Co-Sponsored by the Consortium on Race, Gender and Ethnicity
Thursday, May 3, 2007 @ 6pm
Anne Arundel Hall, Basement Lounge
Honors Humanities' Gender Caucus is pleased to announce the final event in its spring 2007 Lecture and Discussion Series, Feminism Now. Please join us May 3 at 6 pm for a conversation with two prominent diplomats: former U.S. Ambassador to the Sultanate of Oman, Her Excellency Frances D. Cook; and Her Excellency Hunaina Sultan Ahmed Al-Mughairy, Ambassador of Oman to the United States. Both of these women's careers have been marked by landmark "firsts." Ambassador Cook was the youngest career diplomat (FSO) ambassador ever when she was named to Burundi at age 34; she was the first woman head of post (as Consul General in Alexandria, Egypt) for the U.S. in the Middle East; and she was the first woman ambassador, from any country in the world, in the Persian Gulf. Ambassador Al-Mughairy holds the honor of being the first woman ambassador of any Arab nation to the United States. According to the Washington Diplomat, one of Al-Mughairy's primary objectives has been to dispel, "inaccurate or outdated stereotypes about women's roles in the Arab world - or at least in Oman."
Please join us for this exciting Q&A with these 'first' ambassadors. We encourage participation from our audience and hope that you'll join our conversation. Additionally, College of Arts and Humanities Dean Dr. James Harris will deliver a welcome address.
