LEWISTON — Nancy Bauer, a professor of philosophy at Tufts University, will visits Bates College to discuss self-objectification by women at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 21, in the Keck Classroom (G52), Pettengill Hall, 4 Andrews Road (Alumni Walk).
Titled “The Allure of Self-Objectification,” Bauer’s talk will explore a contradiction among contemporary young women: a commitment to professional success as “alpha girls” that seems distinctly at odds with their regressive position in the current “hook-up culture.”
Bauer is an associate professor in and chair of the philosophy department at Tufts. Her areas of study include feminism, existentialism and phenomenology, philosophy of ordinary language, and philosophy and film.
Bauer received her doctorate in philosophy from Harvard University. Author of several books and articles, she recently published a piece on feminism and Lady Gaga in The New York Times’ online feature “The Opinionator.”
The event is open to the public at no charge. For more information, call 786-8204.
