Now You Can Work Smarter
By this point, you’ve likely heard about Work Smart Online, the American Association of University Women offers a free, one-hour training that helps women negotiate for higher pay and become better communicators. Now, the tool is even easier to use. We’ve improved it so you can navigate directly to the topics that interest you — whether that’s pay gap facts or negotiating tips — rather than being required to move through the course sequentially.

This once-monthly lecture series welcomes students and faculty to come together and explore a current topic of interest to the Honors College community. All persons within the Ball State University community are welcome to attend and participate. Join us on Monday, March 25, at 4PM in BB 100 for a discussion with the Reed D. Voran Distinguished Professor of Honors Humanities and Professor of English, Dr. Alex Kaufman, about “Robin Hood and Christmas”
“Now mustards, braun, roast beef and plumb pies”:
Robin Hood and Post-Medieval Christmastime Literature
This talk will explore the ways in which Robin Hood’s more modern Christmastime literature embraced both the conservative nature of Robin Hood’s past lives with radical re-workings of the legend to create fanciful works of literature and art that supported not the transgressive nature of outlaw politics or ideology but rather the more traditional and value driven message of Christmas in Great Britain and America: peace on earth, and good will toward men.
Dr. Kaufman teaches courses on Robin Hood, outlaws and banditry, historical literature, medieval literature, and medievalism.
Women’s & Gender Studies senior, Betsy Kiel, is looking to interview 5-7 students for an independent study project.
She is looking to speak with individuals who have attended at least one Ball State University Women’s Week event during their undergraduate career. Just as a reminder, Women’s Week is a week-long series of intersectional, gender-based programming and events produced by the Women’s & Gender Studies program in March alongside various different on and off-campus organizations.
Interviews should last approximately 30 minutes and Betsy is more than happy to work with your schedules. If this sounds like you and you’re willing to spare some of your time, please email Betsy at ejkiel@bsu.edu with your availability and what event(s) you have attended in the past.
