Women, War and Peace
Wednesday, October 12, 2011, 7pm
Cemex Auditorium
A part of the 2011-2012 Ethics & War series. Award-winning documentarian and Stanford alumna Abigail Disney will talk about her latest project, PBS mini-series Women, War & Peace — the most comprehensive global media initiative ever mounted on the roles of women in peace and conflict. Ms. Disney will discuss the creation of Women, War & Peace and why she is committed to raising awareness about what she calls the ignored "second front of war" — women's experiences in both armed conflict and peace building efforts. The event is free and open to all, but tickets are required. About the speaker: Abigail Disney is a filmmaker, philanthropist, and scholar. She holds degrees from Yale, Stanford, and Columbia. Her work in philanthropy, women's engagement and leadership, and conflict resolution has been recognized through the Epic Award from the White House project, the Changing Landscape for Women Award from the Center for the Advancement of Women, and the prestigious International Advocate for Peace (IAP) Award from the Cardozo Law School's Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution.
This event is co-sponsored by the Clayman Institute for Gender Research, the Program in Ethics in Society, the Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society, and the Social Entrepreneurship Program at the Center for Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law.
