Spelman Spotlight November 15, 1979 Page 14 News Briefs Symposium At Emory “Women and History” is the title of a one-day symposium at Emory University on Wednesday, Nov. 14, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at White Hall on the Emory campus. The sessions of the symposium, which is directed by Dr. Susan Socolow of the Emory history depar tment, are free and open to the public. The symposium is spon sored by the Emory Commission on the Status of Women and the Emory Department of History. The symposium is based on two themes: the place of women in history and their place in the historical profession. The 10 a.m. session, chaired by Mollie C. Davis of Queens College, will explore the history of Southern women in the early 20th century. J ulia Kirk Blackwelder of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte will speak on “White Gloves, Mops and Typewriters: Atlanta’s Working Women in the Early 20th Century.” Sharon Harley of the University of Maryland will give a talk on “The Elite and the Non- Elite: Black Women in the District of Columbia, 1890-1920,” and Jaqueline Hall of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will speak on “Oral Sources and the New Women’s History: Strategies for Research on Southern Working Women.” The 11:30 a.m. session, lead by Richard M. Rollins of the Univer sity of Southern California, will be a look at new sources for women’s history. Asuncion Lavrin of Howard University will speak on “The Visual Record”: sources in paintings and the plastic arts. Darlene Roth-White of Emory University in her lecture on “Material Culture: Architecture, Archaeology and Costume,” will offer a look at the ways that homes reflect the position and role of women. After lunch, the 1 p.m. session will be concerned with ways that women’s history can be incorporated into standard texts and survey courses. One of the speakers, Elizabeth Fox-Genovese of the University of Rochester, is studying this problem under a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The other lec turer, Gary Reichard of Ohio State University, has, with others, published a text titled “America: Changing Times,” the first text to deal extensively with the role of women and minorities in U.S. history. The 3:30 p.m. session, on women in the historical profession, will include a discussion led by D’Ann Campbell, dean of women at In diana University, herself an historian and head of the Coalition for Women in Humanities and Social Sciences, Arnita J ones, Formerly with the American Historical Association and now with the National Endowment for the Humanities, will speak about the problems of placement and advancement for women historians.
