Dr. Katrine Barber, associate professor of history, Portland State University, Portland, Oregon, will discuss the theme of women, water, and home. Dr. Barber will present the interlocking stories of three women who were all active in creating home places - through neighborly relationships, the formation of tribal government, and building infrastructure - on three of the Northwest's primary waterways. This region of water and the confluence of these stories will show the important ways in which women, both white and Native, created home communities that tied land to water. The seminar is free and open to the public. An optional dinner will begin following the presentation. Dinner will be a 3-course set menu at $25 per person, with an option to purchase drinks from the bar, if desired. Dinner reservations may be made by contacting Deborah Burke at (918) 596-2768 or deborah-burke@utulsa.edu. Dinner at 6:30 p.m. Find it in the Tom Gilcrease, Jr. Auditorium.
