"A conversation between a revolutionary 20th century artist, Judy Chicago and her biographer, Gail Levin, an acclaimed art historian, professor of art history, American studies, and women's studies at Baruch College and the CUNY Graduate Center takes place at Baruch College, Mason Hall, on March 19, 2007. An original and daring artist, Judy Chicago is an icon of both the feminist movement and the postmodern aesthetic. Her book The Dinner Party: From Creation to Preservation is the story of her single most famous and important work—a landmark in the history of 20th century art and feminist consciousness. Levin's biography Becoming Judy Chicago traces Chicago's journey from childhood and adolescence to a growing fascination with the nature of what it means to be a woman. Myrna Chase, Dean of the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences makes the welcoming remarks. A Q&A with the audience follows the conversation between Chicago and Levin."

Award-winning novelist Francisco Goldman talks about his most recent book The Art of Political Murder: Who Killed the Bishop?, a nonfiction book that pursues the infamous murder of Bishop Juan Gerardi, the Guatemalan human rights leader murdered after the release of his multivolume report on the genocidal terror campaign led by the army in the 1980s and '90s. The book casts light into the darkest corners of this tortuous case, the U.S.-supported war in Central America and the continuing legacy of violence and corruption. Roslyn Bernstein, Professor of the Weissman School of Arts & Sciences, Baruch College, introduces the speaker. The event takes place on November 13, 2007, at the Newman Conference Center, Room 750.

Dollars & Sense magazine celebrates its 2007 edition by hosting Arthur Browne, Beverly Weintraub and Heidi Evans, the award-winning editorials from the New York Daily News.

The series documented the growing medical fallout from the World Trade Center attacks, and forced all levels of government to reexamine their initial medical response to the attacks. The event is moderated by Professor Andrea Gabor, Weissman School of Arts & Sciences. The event takes place on May 15, 2007, at the Newman Conference Center, Room 750.

"The 15th annual Addison Gayle Memorial Lecture features Gloria Steinem, a noted feminist, writer and journalist. Steinem celebrated the memory of celebrated literary critic, writer and former City College professor Addison Gayle in a lecture entitled “The Longest Revolution.” She was introduced by a panel of four speakers. Jeffrey Peck, dean of Weissman School of Arts and Sciences, called her an “icon of the feminist movement.” Kathleen Waldron, Baruch college president spoke of being “inspired” by Steinem and communications Professor Sara Ryan called her a “courageous feminist leader.” Lastly, “the most humane individual I've met,” were the words used to describe Steinem by English Professor Tuzyline Allan, who is in charge of organizing the Addison Gayle Memorial Lecture series. Mrs. Steinem spoke of her experience working with Addison Gayle back when she first started out as a journalist. She worked with him “at a time when he was thought of as Negro, not African-American or American,” she said. They both shared “empathy for their audience.” Mrs. Steinem looks to a future where people won't think that “your genitals control your brain or that the pigment of your skin matters.” She calls these race and gender categories “fiction.” We should not concentrate on the generalized differences. It's the unique differences that are important, according to Steinem. Steinem stressed that the civil rights and women's movement, as well as the strides made in gay and lesbian rights propelled in tandem. The confluence of individuals challenging the status quo fueled the radical changes that took place during the 60s. The event takes place on April 1, 2009, at Mason Hall, Baruch College."
