Thinking Spaces: The Reading Group and Speaker Series, together with the Art Gallery of Guelph, is pleased to present “Dispatch” a virtual talk with artist Raven Chacon and curator Candice Hopkins.
"Greedy, Ambitious, and Proud: The 'Unnatural' Rise and 'Justified' Fall of Elizabeth Stewart, countess of Arran" uses the political career of the countess of Arran (said by some literary scholars to be the inspiration for Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth) as a case study to explore long-standing tropes about female ambition and the ways in which these tropes have negatively impacted (and continue to negatively impact) how powerful women are perceived and treated. It will be hosted by the Centre for Scottish Studies on 23 February 2021 at 12 PM EST / 5 PM GMT / 9 AM PST.
The Middle East Scholars Society (MESS) and the Department of History at the University of Guelph present:
