Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere

Part of the Public Engagement Program Growing Strong: Empowering Girls in the 21st Century through Stories of Classical Female Mythological Figures and Contemporary Women. The project creates an interactive, thought-provoking space for young girls to reflect on their identity as active community members and the multiple roles they can assume by discussing the stories of inspirational ancient Greco-Roman goddesses/figures alongside contemporary women. In collaboration with Girls Place, these events are tailored to the interests of sixth- through eighth-grade girls.
