[We share the following announcement, which is an update on our earlier post here.]
Please
join Colorado Law for the 28th Annual
Ira C. Rothgerber Conference, “Women’s Enfranchisement: Beyond the 19th Amendment," which has
been modified to take place remotely on Friday April 3rd, 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. MT, through
the use of a Zoom Webinar. The
web-event is free,
and has been approved for 6
general CLE credits. Reva Siegel will give the Keynote
Address, and the first of our three panels will focus on Historical
Perspectives. Here is a general description of the conference theme,
along with links to register for and join the webinar:
2020
marks the centennial of the 19th Amendment, formally extending suffrage to
some, but not all, women, and is a presidential election year with an
unprecedented number of female candidates running for offices
nationwide. But barriers to both political rights and social, lived
equality persist, particularly for women at the intersections of race, sex, and
class. This web-based conference will
use the centennial to take stock of how far we’ve come—and how far we have
to go—in terms of formal political enfranchisement, as well as the social
and economic empowerment of women more broadly.
Register here for the 2020 Rothgerber Conference, to
receive important email updates, including the link needed to join the webinar.
Participants will be able to use this link to join at any point during the
conference. For more information on the panels and speakers please visit
the CU Law Rothgerber event page. We look forward to
sharing this occasion with you!
