In a very timely lecture, Sara Goodkind told Pitt’s new female professors that empowerment in the #MeToo era needs to “shift the focus from fixing girls to engaging girls in fixing society.”
Goodkind, an associate professor in the School of Social Work, Department of Sociology, and Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies Program, was the speaker at a reception on Oct. 11 welcoming new women faculty members. The annual event is sponsored by the Provost’s Advisory Committee on Women’s Concerns and the Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies Program.
