Allison Dining Room| Taubman 5th floor

Norton served as the 48th Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior from 2001 until 2006 -- the first woman to hold the position. Norton made what she calls the Four C's the cornerstone of her tenure: Communication, Consultation, and Cooperation, all in the service of Conservation. At the heart of the Four C's is the belief that for conservation to be successful, the government must involve the people who live and work on the land.
From 1991 to 1999, she served as Attorney General of Colorado. In that capacity, she represented virtually every agency of the Colorado state government. She argued cases before the U.S. Supreme Court and other appellate courts and testified numerous times before congressional committees. As a negotiator of the $206 billion national tobacco settlement, Norton represented Colorado and 45 other states as part of the largest lawsuit settlement in history.
Prior to her election as Attorney General, Norton served in Washington, D.C. as Associate Solicitor of the U.S. Department of the Interior, overseeing endangered species and public lands legal issues for the National Park Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service. She also worked as Assistant to the Deputy Secretary of Agriculture and, from 1979 to 1983, as a Senior Attorney for the Mountain States Legal Foundation.
Norton graduated magna cum laude from the University of Denver in 1975 and earned her law degree with honors from the same university in 1978.

Gender equality, Politics and Islam in Kuwait
A discussion with WAPPP Fellow Jan Feldman, Associate Professor of Political Science at UVM
Tuesday, April 29 | 12:00pm – 1:00pm
Taubman 401, Taubman 4th floor
Jan Feldman is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Vermont. She has taught courses on topics such as political culture, the problems of political thought, theories of citizenship, and religion and liberal democracy. During her fellowship at WAPPP, Feldman’s research will explore the dynamics of Israeli and U.S. politics with reference to the growing political activism of women who are inspired by religious, rather than by purely secular goals. Feldman will use an ethnographic approach, using an open-ended survey instrument, to allow the women she interviews to expand upon their own values, goals and experiences in politics. The goal of her project is to seek out examples of faith-based religious activism among traditional women with an eye to identifying ways of building coalitions across secular, liberal and religious lines. Feldman holds a Ph.D. in Political Theory from Cornell University and a B.A. in Political Science from Swarthmore College.

The Organizational Reconstruction of Men’s Identity
Discussion with Deb Meyerson, Associate Professor of Education and (by courtesy) Organizational Behavior Stanford University School of Education
Thursday, February 28, 12-1 pm
CPL Conference Room, Taubman building 1st floor
The paper (with Robin Ely) is based on a case study of offshore oil platforms—a workplace that has traditionally rewarded men for masculine displays of prowess and interactions centered on proving masculinity—in which such displays and interactions were absent. We use this case to develop theory about how organizational conditions can disrupt conventional masculine identity-construction processes. In this case, organizational features designed to enhance safety and effectiveness had the unintended effect of changing how men interacted with one another and enacted their identities at work. Interview and participant observation data show that the major reorientation was away from seeking to prove masculinity credentials and towards seeking to learn how to perform their jobs more safely and effectively. The latter required that workers engage in mutual expressions of vulnerability: they acknowledged their physical limitations, learned from their mistakes, and attended to their own and others’ emotions. As a result, these men expressed a broader repertoire of personal qualities, including qualities that run counter to conventionally masculine scripts. Our findings point to the mutability of masculine identity as a social status achievement and to how organizations can disrupt such tendencies and stand to gain in the process.

Leveraging Power for Women and Girls: Education and Policy Reform in Uganda
Featuring Florence Apuri Auma and Margaret Akullo Elem of Uganda
Tuesday, March 4, 3:30-4:30 pm

This discussion will cover topics including:
- Girls access to quality education in Uganda
- Women's involvement in policy making, including cases of family land rights and peace building
- Defying cultural gender constructs within institutions, and
- Reforming negative aspects of Ugandan culture while promoting positive aspects
Florence Apuri Auma, Ford Foundation IFP/ Mason Fellow, Masters in Public Administration 2008. Auma Florence Apuri brings a passion for reconciliation and peace building to her work in Uganda, having been a victim of violent conflict herself. Florence was abducted and lived in Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) rebel's captivity in March 1991. A graduate of Makerere University in 2004 with a baccalaureate degree in Education, she served her Ugandan community as an undergraduate student by mobilizing critical masses of grassroots women to address issues such as cultural barriers that undermine women’s rights, family land rights, and poverty.
Before coming to the Harvard University to attain her master’s degree in Public Administration, Auma worked as a Program Manager at ActionAid International Uganda. There, Ms.Apuri integrated several groups of women who were supporting different causes to campaign against corruption and domestic violence and for women’s rights, land rights, and girls’ education. These campaigns resulted in an increased access to justice for women, inclusion of the family land rights clause into the Land Act Amendment 2003 and an increased number of Ugandan girls being educated in local schools.
Ms. Apuri has served as a women’s rights activist for over 12 years. She has extensive experience working with civil society organizations and development agencies. She has mobilized and built a capacity of networks, alliances and social movements in Lango sub-region and northern Uganda, which resulted in a national strategy of re-education in conflict and post conflict areas. Many people in these areas were educated on family land rights laws, resource monitoring and utilization. Auma commits herself to defing cultural challenges in Uganda and has assisted in diffusing intercultural tensions.

Film Screening: Iron Jawed Angels
Land Hall | 6:30pm
IRON JAWED ANGELS recounts for a contemporary audience a key chapter in U.S. history: in this case, the struggle of suffragists who fought for the passage of the 19th Amendment. Focusing on the two defiant women, Alice Paul (Hilary Swank) and Lucy Burns (Frances O'Connor), the film shows how these activists broke from the mainstream women's-rights movement and created a more radical wing, daring to push the boundaries of political protest to secure women's voting rights in 1920. Breathing life into the relationships between Paul, Burns and others, the movie makes the women feel like complete characters instead of one-dimensional figures from a distant past.
