This Pembroke Center exhibit explores in detail the Lamphere case and its consequences for Brown. Based on extensive archival research and oral histories with key participants, the exhibit paints a vivid picture of why and how Brown changed during a key moment in its history and of the feminist activism that drove that change.

More than 700 Brown alumnae returned to campus last week for the 125 Years of Women at Brown Conference. To mark this historic milestone, Brown's Office of University Communications produced a video called "Celebrating 125 Years Of Women at Brown" using materials from the Pembroke Center archives. Excerpts from the Brown Women Speak oral history collection are featured along with historic photos from the Christine Dunlap Farnham Archive.

Join us for a screening of The 100 Years Show by Alison Klayman ’06, followed by a discussion with Alison and other Brown friends. Her award-winning documentary tells the story of Cuban-born artist Carmen Herrera -- just one example of the many great artists whose accomplishments were overlooked because of their gender, ethnicity, or nationality. Following the screening, there will be a conversation about women and other historically underrepresented groups getting their due in the art world with:

Alison Klayman ’06, filmmaker and director, AliKlay Productions

Leslie Camhi, former Pembroke Center postdoctoral fellow; writer, Vogue, The New York Times, et al.

This panel during the Women’s Leadership Council’s 125 Years of Women at Brown Conference will explore questions including: How are diversity and inclusion faring on our campuses today, 40 years after the Lamphere case forced institutional changes at Brown and heralded a new era? Are our educational institutions keeping up with the social and intellectual diversity of the global economy? What work remains? How are faculty and student diversity impacting education and advancing knowledge?
