Meeting Gloria Steinem Gloria Steinem is not only a fascinating living icon of the Women’s Movement, the founder of Ms. Magazine, and one of the most outspoken feminists and human rights advocates of our time; but she is also a superb writer and a cultural philosopher. In the fall of 2015, a group of BSC faculty flew to New York City to interview her, and she invited them into her home for an interview that lasted over an hour. Clay Jenkinson was part of that conversation, and will use the evening of this class to discuss Steinem’s suggestion that in all questions of political sensitivity, we “reverse the lens,” and look at the issue from the point of view of the minority group. In addition, Clay will talk about her core principle, that shame and violence are the source of most social unhappiness. She has a deep sense of commitment to understanding others, especially the lives of American Indians, and Clay will highlight Gloria’s view that empathy is the highest form of human achievement; that the only way you can understand someone is by spending time with them. It’s sure to be a discussion that will inspire you! 2/28 BSC NECE, Room 103 Fee: $39
