Lecture discusses Iranian women

By Brendan Dooley | August 5, 2010

/ The Dartmouth Staff / The Dartmouth Staff Women in Iran have resisted attempts by the Islamic theocratic regime to render them second-class citizens following the 1979 Islamic Revolution, director of the Middle East program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars Haleh Esfandiari said in her lecture, "Iran's Indomitable Woman." Abigail McGowan, a history professor at the University of Vermont, followed with a discussion about the instability in Kashmir on Wednesday morning in Spaulding Auditorium. Esfandiari, who was held in an Iranian prison for four months after refusing to confess to engaging in anti-government activities, said that Iranian women expected liberation after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. "Following the revolution, women aspired to equality under the law and instead became second-class citizens," she said. Laws dictated where women could travel, what they could wear, where they could be educated and how they could interact with men under the new regime, Esfandiari said.

Clemens to serve as acting GLOS director

By Emma Fidel | August 2, 2010

Former Associate Director of Residential Education Kristi Clemens has taken over as acting director of Greek Letter Organizations and Societies, filling the vacancy created by the retirement of former GLOS Director Deborah Carney in June, Associate Dean of the College for Campus Life April Thompson announced in an e-mail to Greek presidents Monday. As acting director of GLOS, Clemens will work with students to improve the relationships between Greek organizations and the Town of Hanover, advocate for physical plants for new sororities and expand local alumni's involvement in Dartmouth's Greek houses, Acting Dean of the College Sylvia Spears said in an interview with The Dartmouth. "I think [Clemens] has a very student-centered approach to her work, and I think it will be really important for her to find out what their needs are what their hopes are rather than to drive an agenda," Spears said. Clemens who came to the College last summer from New York University said she knows that the College's Greek system comprises "a huge part of the Dartmouth experience." She said she met with campus Greek leaders last week including representatives from the Greek Leadership Council, Panhellenic Council, Inter-Fraternity Council, Co-Ed Council and minority Greek houses and that her initial focus as acting director will be to continue conversations with students about their goals for the Greek system. "The College's Greek system is student-initiated and student-led in a way that organizations are not on other campuses," Clemens said.
