Tuesday, March 18 2025, 4 - 5:30pm Special Collections Library Auditorium Women's History Month Scott Kurashige James and Grace Lee Boggs Foundation Scott Kurashige.com The Institute for Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of Georgia continues our longstanding annual tradition of hosting special events throughout March to recognize Women’s History Month. These events provide opportunities for the University of Georgia campus and broader community to access the diverse perspectives, rich history, and cultural impact of women. The 2025 Women’s History Month theme, as determined by the National Women’s History Alliance, is “Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations.” This theme celebrates the powerful influence of women who have dedicated their lives to education, mentorship, and leadership. For the Women’s History Month Keynote Address, we are delighted to welcome changemaker, educator, writer, and President of the James and Grace Lee Boggs Foundation, Dr. Scott Kurashige. Dr. Kurashige’s experience as an urban community organizer in cities like LA and Detroit, his work on the enduring problem of anti-Asian and anti-Black violence in the US, and in particular his ongoing work with the James and Grace Lee Boggs foundation make Dr. Kurashige the perfect exemplar for this year’s theme. Dr. Kurashige’s keynote address will center on his work with Grace Lee Boggs during her lifetime and extending her teachings and legacy for future generations. You can find out more about Dr. Kurashige’s media appearances and publications on his website.
