Susan Eisenberg brings art and activism together to achieve social justice goals. As a poet, mixed media artist and former electrician, she created the "On Equal Terms" exhibit, which explores women's experiences in the construction industry. Despite regulations in 1978 that should have opened up roughly 25% of skilled trades jobs to women, women have held only 2.5% of construction jobs since 1981. Come see and discuss how art can be used to renew public and political interest in a topic of economic importance to women and the nation.

Cosponsored by The Institute for Research on Women & Gender, the Women in Science & Engineering Program, the Women's Studies department in LS&A, and CEW.
