Once you've registered\, joining information will be sent to your email. Register for the Zoom webinar at: https://myumi.ch/pV41e\n\nThe transition of Chinese marriage from a patriarchal to a more egalitarian model is well known\, but the rise of women’s sexual empowerment within marriage is less so. Using survey data from the 1980s and 90s\, this talk examines a key aspect of a woman’s conjugal power\, her ability to decline to have sex with her husband.\n   \n   Bill Lavely is Professor Emeritus of international studies and sociology at the University of Washington. Trained at the University of Michigan Department of Sociology and the Population Studies Center\, he is a social demographer who has written on Chinese fertility\, marriage\, mortality\, sex ratios\, and historical demography.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Black Girlhood Unfolded: Reclaiming Puberty Narratives in a Digital Archive
DESCRIPTION:note: This event was rescheduled from its original date.\n\nWith the “Hear\, Here” series\, we aim to facilitate conversations around new research in the humanities. Faculty fellows at the Institute for the Humanities will discuss a part of their current project in a short talk followed by a Q & A session.\n\nAbout this talk:\nThis talk explores Black Girlhood Unfolded\, a digital narrative platform that centers the lived experiences of Black girls navigating puberty. By elevating personal stories and community voices\, the platform challenges adultification bias and dominant media silences\, creating space for identity formation\, healing\, and resistance. In capturing voices too often left out of cultural memory\, this work reframes Black girlhood as central—not marginal—to our understanding of youth\, development\, and representation.\n\n*Rona Carter is a 2025-26 Digital Scholarship Faculty Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and Associate Professor of Psychology.*
