The History Department is glad to welcome Dr. Jennifer Powell McNutt, Franklin S. Dyrness Associate Professor of Biblical and Theological Studies at Wheaton College, to present the Women’s History Month Lecture entitled, “Women and the Reformation Through the Lens of the Marys.” Please, make plans to attend the Women’s History Month Lecture on Thursday, March 30, from 10:40-11:30 AM in the Grand Lobby. Dr. McNutt’s presentation will explore the important roles women and female spiritual devotion played during the Protestant Reformation, nuance narratives of Christian history that focus almost exclusively on men, and, more broadly, invite considerations for the importance of women’s experiences and viewpoints in Christianity.

Light refreshments will be served.  This event is free and hosted by the History Department.
