Details
Women's History Month is a dedicated month to reflect on the often-overlooked contributions of women to the United States history. Women’s History Month began as a local celebration in Santa Rosa, California in 1987. The organizers selected the week of March 8th to correspond with International Women’s Day. The movement spread across the country as other communities initiated their own Women’s History Week celebrations. Between 1988 and 1994, Congress passed additional resolutions requesting and authorizing the President to proclaim March of each year as Women’s History Month. Since 1995, each president has issued annual proclamations designating the month of March as “Women’s History Month.”

Join the Office of Inclusion & Diversity for a PhD Monday session celebrating Pan-Asian Heritage Month & Women's History Month! This month's guest is Meera Choi, a sociology Ph.D. candidate studying the 4B movement in South Korea.
Lunch will be served to those who register.
About Meera Choi:
Meera Choi is a sociology Ph.D. candidate at Yale University. Meera investigates shifting meanings and values of romantic relationships, family formation, and care work in South Korea, a social landscape marked by low fertility. To date, Meera’s research has focused on uncovering the ways in which gendered expectations of care work shaped spatial boundaries and sense of place by gender and life course.
Her dissertation examines how heterosexual desires have shifted in light of the popularization of sexual violence and safety discourse since the #MeToo movement. In particular, she studies South Korean feminist women who have opted out of sex, dating, marriage, and childbearing with heterosexual, cisgender men. She intends to reveal the crisis of heterosexuality in South Korea and alternative forms of intimacies around sisterhood.
