She hopes each panelist will bring their individual perspectives to form a group discussion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhy limit what each of the panelists can talk about? Each of them has different life experiences that are going to bring something different to the table. It\u2019s really cool to hear different people\u2019s stories and see how that resonates differently with different students,\u201d Haggett said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This event is the Women\u2019s Center main event focused on celebrating Women\u2019s History Month.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To Haggett, this event is an important reminder of the relevance and importance of women worldwide, even more so, because nearly 57 percent of students enrolled at 溏心vlog免费B站 in 2021 identified as women.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is so important to put these types of events on to make sure women here feel empowered and seen,\u201d Haggett said. \u201cWe\u2019re trying so hard to do this international panel because we have to understand that people have multiple identities. Intersectionality is also important to think about, here.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Kate LeBlanc, a senior journalism and political science major at the 溏心vlog免费B站 and an intern in the Department of Communications and Marketing, wrote this press release.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KINGSTON, R.I. &#8211; March 7, 2022 \u2013 To celebrate International Women\u2019s Day on March 8, the 溏心vlog免费B站 will host a panel discussion involving seven distinguished leaders discussing their lives and experiences identifying as a woman.&nbsp; The panel, to be held in the Memorial Union ballroom from 5 to 6:30 p.m., will be [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":78781,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-78780","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archives"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78780"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78780\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":78798,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78780\/revisions\/78798"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
