The Aquinas College Jane Hibbard Idema Women' Studies Center presents its 8th annual
tea and lecture on Friday, January 30 from 12:30 to 1:20 p.m. in the Loutit Room of
Wege Student Center. Anne Clark Bartlett, Ph.D., director of the master of arts in
English program and associate professor of English, DePaul University, will give an
address entitled, "Arms and Woman: Gender and Governance in Late Medieval England."
The tea and lecture are a part of the St. Thomas Aquinas Week celebration at Aquinas.
Bartlett's areas of specialization include: medieval English literature, and literary theory and research methods. Bartlett also presents on and writes about literature by and for medieval women. She has recently completed an essay for the Yale Guide to Holy Women of the Middle Ages on "Holy Women of the British Isles" and is working on a monograph called "Medieval English Women and the Literature of Statecraft." Bartlett is also collaborating with some colleagues on an essay collection to be called "Medieval, Reality, Television." The collection of essays will analyze from a medievalist perspective some forms of communal activity and identity available in current "Reality TV" shows such as "Wife Swap" and "The Apprentice."
