Women\u2019s History Month <\/span><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
The origins of Women’s History Month can be traced to the events of 1857 when women in New York City factories protested against inadequate working conditions. The initial celebration of Women’s Day in the United States took place in 1909. Over seven decades later, in 1981, Congress officially designated the second week of March as National Women’s History Week. In 1987, this commemoration was expanded, with a presidential proclamation declaring March as Women’s History Month.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Irish American Heritage Month <\/span><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
This month, we celebrate Irish American Heritage Month. For many years in our country\u2019s history, the Irish faced a great deal of anti-immigrant sentiment, largely a result of their Catholicism, which clashed with the predominantly Protestant backgrounds of the original colonists. Congress made the recognition of Irish American Heritage month official in 1991. Locally, the Irish population was small until silver was discovered in Leadville, CO in the 1870s. It quickly became the most Irish city in the Rocky Mountains. They were later joined by Scottish, Welsh, and Cornish immigrants, and Colorado\u2019s Celtic heritage remains strong today.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Greek American Heritage Month <\/span><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
March marks Greek American Heritage Month, coinciding with the celebration of Greek American History Day on March 25 (Greece’s National Greek Independence Day). Between 1786 and the early 1900s, a significant influx of Greek immigrants arrived in the U.S. Between 1945 and 1982, Greek immigration increased, due to the need to escape economic hardships in Greece. Today, more than 3 million people in America proudly trace their roots to Greek ancestry, establishing it as one of the nation’s most substantial ethnic groups. Whether savoring mouthwatering cuisine, participating in traditional dances, or enjoying Greek music, there are myriad of ways to celebrate and embrace this dynamic heritage throughout this March.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

If conversations are a way for our social, linguistic species to express and explain, correct, and collaborate, make sense of things and make things happen, then why are they \u2014 particularly the personal and political ones \u2014 so difficult to have? This talk considers these challenges and addresses the following question: How we can we be the kinds of people that others would want to have a conversation with?<\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

This event takes place Thursday, Mar. 7, 3:30-5 p.m in Gaylord Hall<\/strong>, and is sponsored by the J Glenn & Ursula Gray Memorial Fund, the Philosophy Department, the Robert Lewis Endowed Fund for Philosophy, and the Rubens Family Fund.<\/div>\n
