Talks and Workshops
Motherhood and Women's Empowerment
Drawing from her recent book, Motherhood and Feminism, which documents women's maternal activism in the US since the Industrial Revolution, as well as from her own published narrative accounts, Kinser discusses the conflicted relationship between motherhood and the fight for women's equality and power.
Workplace Communication Strategies
for Women
An examination of how gendered communication can be used more strategically at work. Kinser explains how women and men tend to communicate in gendered ways and how this impacts workplace relationships and tasks. She discusses concrete communication strategies women in particular can use to confront workplace dilemmas.
The More things Change...
Kinser explores the ways that mother’s lives have changed over time. After a brief historical overview of motherhood around the world, Kinser focuses in on the last 200+ years in the U.S. to discuss how family life and women’s roles have changed shape over time and some of the ways that images of motherhood have remained static.
No More Mommy Wars
A critique of the media-driven idea that at-work and at-home mothers are in great conflict. Kinser redirects attention to the true conflict confronting families: Mothers’ efforts to care for their children in self-determined ways on one side, and family un-friendly social policy coupled with unrealistic expectations for good mothering on the other.
