If you're in the Ottawa area, come meet with me and the other co-curators of this amazing exhibit that showcases the world-class work done by early women scientists in Canada. The careers of the five featured women spans almost 200 years, from the early 1800s to the 1970s, and many of the artifacts are unique and on public display for the first time. If you can't make it out on October 17, then you can still see the exhibit at the Carleton University Art Gallery any time before it closes December 3, 2017.
Tuesday, 17 October, 7:00 p.m.
Please join us for a tour of HERbarium, an exhibition that sheds light on several women who made formative contributions to the field of botany in Canada, including renowned Ottawa mycologists Mildred Nobles and Irene Mounce.
HERbarium was co-curated by students enrolled in "Representations of Women's Scientific Contributions," a women's and gender studies seminar taught last winter by Dr. Cindy Stelmackowich.
The students, from such departments as chemistry, physics, art history, and women's and gender studies, worked collaboratively and across disciplines to produce HERbarium.
ADMISSION is free and everyone is welcome! CUAG is an accessible space, with barrier-free washrooms and elevator.
PARKING We'll sell discount parking passes ($4.00 flat rate) at the tunnel entrance from 6:40 to 7:10 p.m.. Details are at this link: http://www.cuag.ca/index.php/visiting/directions
