It's Complicated: 375 Years of Women at Harvard || Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study
Historian Helen Lefkowitz Horowitz explores Harvard University's relationship with women, which she describes as complicated. Her review begins with the University's founding 375 years ago, when Harvard excluded women as students and teachers. For 200 years, the University conveyed education and prestige to a ministry and a rising merchant class. Beginning in the 19th century, women found innovative ways to attain higher education, but the terms of access required accommodation%mdasheven invisibility. Horowitz contends that the fight for equity began more than a century ago and remains a work in progress today. 00:00:00 Welcome by Lizabeth Cohen, dean, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study; Howard Mumford Jones Professor of American Studies, Department of History, Harvard University 00:01:45 Remarks by Drew Faust, president; Lincoln Professor of History, Department of History, Harvard University 00:04:15 Introduction by Lizabeth Cohen 00:12:37 "It's Complicated: 375 Years of Women at Harvard" by Helen Lefkowitz Horowitz, PhD '69, RI '01, Sydenham Clark Parsons Professor of History and American Studies, Emerita, Smith College 00:59:50 Q%A From: Harvard Views: 546 8 ratings Time: 01:32:31 More in Education

Reimagining the City-University Connection: Integrating Research, Policy, and Practice Welcoming remarks by Lizabeth Cohen (Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study and Harvard University), David T. Ellwood (Harvard Kennedy School), Peter Meade (Boston Redevelopment Authority), and Robert J. Sampson (Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study and Harvard University) "Reimagining the City-University Connection," sponsored by the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, the Rappaport Institute, and the City of Boston, seeks to promote a new kind of partnership by stimulating mutually beneficial research and policy relationships involving Harvard and other universities with Boston and other cities and towns in greater Boston. Scholars and practitioners from a variety of fields and communities will explore accomplishments of%mdashand lessons from%mdashseveral notable university/city initiatives. Panels of leading academics and senior practitioners will focus on four areas: preventing and responding to violence; governance and new technologies; improving urban education; and the lessons and challenges of city-university collaborations. The symposium will create novel opportunities to strengthen existing collaborations and to begin to develop new ones%mdashparticularly those that cross academic disciplines and bureaucratic boundaries.
