Join us on Saturday, March 29, 2025, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM at Gault Recital Hall in the Gault Fine Arts Center for Women’s History through Storytelling: An Interdisciplinary Event, a special celebration of Women’s History Month at the University of Tennessee Southern.
This inspiring afternoon will explore the power of storytelling through the lenses of History, Music, and English. The event will begin with a lecture by Dr. Melissa Ryckman, who will provide insight into the origins of Women’s History Month and the importance of storytelling in shaping women’s historical narratives. The program will continue with a musical recital by Dr. Peter Douglas and guest artist Dr. Ísis Jarnicki de Carvalho, highlighting the works of women composers. Finally, Dr. Jessica Conrad and her Women’s Literature students will share reflections on the impact of studying women’s literature both in Pulaski and abroad, offering perspectives from both sides of the classroom.
This event is free and open to the public, made possible by the generous support of the Michael Williams Storytelling Endowment and Music Enrichment Fund. Attendees will receive a special commemorative UT Southern tote bag, filled with keepsakes that celebrate the spirit of Women’s History Month. Refreshments will be available throughout the event, providing an opportunity to engage with presenters and fellow attendees.
We invite you to be part of this afternoon of inspiration, celebrating the voices, stories, and contributions of women across disciplines.
