In October, Professor Kristin Kalsem’s book, In Contempt: Nineteenth-Century Women, Law, and Literature, was released in paperback.

In September, Professors Kalsem and Houh (as co-directors of the Center for Race, Gender, and Social Justice) co-sponsored with the YWCA and UC’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion a screening of Hate Crimes in the Heartland, a documentary by Rachel Lyon. A panel discussion followed.

Several of Professor Kalsem’s articles were cited:
