Students Amber Reitan, Megan Bagdon, and Caitlin Tetreau present papers at women's studies meeting
Three 成人直播 students presented papers at a combined scholarly meeting of the Maine Women's Studies Consortium, the New England Women's Studies Association and the Maine Women Writers Collection. Amber Reitan '12, Megan Bagdon '12, and Caitlin Tetreau '13 presented papers based on original historical research.
Reitan (a medical biology major) spoke on women's roles in 19th-century etiquette manuals; Bagdon (a medical biology major/history minor) discussed identity and etiquette in the 19th-century novel The Lamplighter; and Tetreau (history/secondary education) presented her research on the WWII letters of flight evacuation nurse Ruth Banfield Lowderback. The panel was chaired by Elizabeth De Wolfe, Ph.D., professor and chair, Department of History. The conference was organized by the Maine Women Writers Collection and held at 成人直播's Portland campus.
