of Women's Studies and professor of humanities, was an invited presenter
at a Congressional Forum held at the Rayburn Office Building, Capitol
Hill, Washington, D.C., and attended by members of Congress. This event
commemorated the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Washington
Coalition for Comfort Women Issues (WCCW, Inc.), an NGO with which Stetz
has long been associated, and which was one of the chief forces behind
the passage in 2007 of House Resolution 121 (in support of justice for
the survivors of Japanese military sexual slavery in World War II).
Titled "The Comfort Women Redress Movement in a Post-Victim Era," the
forum took up the subject of past accomplishments and next steps in this
human rights cause. Stetz's talk, which was presented virtually, was on
the topic of “The Future of ‘Comfort Women’ Issues” and considered how
best to sustain and encourage transnational feminist activism. The forum
also included the premiere screening of a documentary about the WCCW's
work, <em>Cry Out: The Comfort Women Redress Movement in the US (1992-2022), </em>directed by Jungsil Lee, in which Stetz appeared as a speaker. <br></p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#d586cffd-ad4b-45b9-8581-f6a2bbf70d87;L0|#0d586cffd-ad4b-45b9-8581-f6a2bbf70d87|Presentations;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2023.00000000000 | https://publish.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=282 | |

environmental disaster in novels such as <em>Parable of the Sower</em> (1993).

They can be viewed <a href="https://grolierclub.omeka.net/exhibits/show/beardsley-2022/curator-talks">online here</a>. Stetz’s talk, “In Bed with Beardsley,” considers the importance of images of beds and bedrooms in Aubrey Beardsley’s art and writing, linking these not only with Beardsley’s forward-looking ideas about sexuality, but with his medical history and early death. Samuels Lasner’s talk, “Beardsleyophily,” surveys the long and continuing story of why Beardsley has been the subject of obsessive interest on the part of book and art collectors while focusing, too, on how Samuels Lasner himself has acquired important examples of Beardsley’s work. Both lectures were held in conjunction with the exhibition Aubrey Beardsley, 150 Years Young at the Grolier Club in New York City (Sept. 8–Nov. 12, 2022), which was curated by Stetz and Samuels Lasner and displayed 69 items, all of them drawn from the Mark Samuels Lasner Collection, which is part of the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. (The published catalogue of the exhibition, written by Margaret Stetz, is available from the <a href="https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/distributed/A/bo203441111.html">University of Chicago Press</a>.) On Oct. 7, 2022, Stetz and Samuels Lasner gave an afternoon tour of the exhibition to a group of visitors from the Rosenbach Museum and Library in Philadelphia. In addition, Samuels Lasner conducted tours of the exhibition for the public on Oct. 12 and on Nov. 9, as well as a private tour on Oct. 28 to a group from the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas. He also delivered a virtual version of his lecture on “Beardsleyophily” to the Philobiblon Club, which is based in Philadelphia. Before the exhibition closed, it received a series of highly positive reviews in numerous print and online publications, including the <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/goings-on-about-town/art/aubrey-beardsley-150-years-young">New Yorker magazine</a>, <a href="https://news.artnet.com/art-world/was-a-victorian-illustrator-the-godfather-of-the-graphic-novel-a-new-exhibition-of-aubrey-beardsley-explores-the-question-2198021">Artnet News</a> and <a href="https://www.artforum.com/print/reviews/202210/aubrey-beardsley-89755">Artforum</a>.<br></p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#d586cffd-ad4b-45b9-8581-f6a2bbf70d87;L0|#0d586cffd-ad4b-45b9-8581-f6a2bbf70d87|Presentations;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2023.00000000000 | https://publish.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=265 | |
