IEW 23: Resilience and triumph, a historic overview of Chicago’s architecture

IN CELEBRATION OF 2023 International Education Week, the Chicago Chapter of the Fulbright Association invite you, your friends, family, and colleagues to a presentation of Chicago architectural history. The talk will focus on Chicago’s major historical events, and how those events lead to pioneering innovations in architecture and structural engineering that have influenced the building of modern cities around the world.

The presentation will be led by Dr. John Zukowsky, an art historian with numerous honors and professional positions including that of Curator of Architecture at the Art Institute of Chicago. The lecture will take place at the Hull House Museum which is part of the Art and Architecture College at University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC.)

Whether you’re a Chicago native, or visiting from halfway around the world, this will be an excellent opportunity to learn about some of the most fascinating facts about the architecture of our wonderful city and its impact on industrial development, commerce, world-wide architectural innovations, and lives of those who make Chicago their home.

Rescheduled for March 20, 2014: Anne Elizabeth Moore, Exploring the gender gap in patent holders

2014 Gender Gap Patentsnew2 copyTHE UIC WOMEN IN SCIENCE & ENGINEERING Program and the Chicago Chapter of the Fulbright Association invite you to a film viewing & discussion by Fulbright Scholar Anne Elizabeth Moore about the gender gap in patents and copyrights.

The National Bureau of Economic Research found in 2012 that patent holders are only 7.5% female. Commercial patents are held by an even smaller percentage of women, 5.5%. The gender gap in patents is an indication of larger issues in intellectual property rights law, in which traditionally feminine work is not protected. Despite the resulting patent and earnings gender gap, even in products created for feminine consumption, there is one very strange and very small invention that offers gender parity—which Moore will reveal at the event.
