The Cultural Impact of the Book of Revelation

Elaine Pagels, Harrington Spear Paine Foundation Professor of Religion at Princeton University, will deliver the first talk of this year's Dean's Lecture Series on December 3, 2009.

In this lecture, Elaine Pagels places the book of Revelation in historical context and discusses who wrote it and under what circumstances, and why it was included in the New Testament collection. She also sketches the book’s enormous cultural impact in art, religion, and politics over two thousand years.

Gender and the Law: Unintended Consequences, Unsettled Questions

The Radcliffe Institute hosted its eighth annual conference on gender on March 12–13, 2009. This conference convened judges, legal practitioners, and scholars of law, the humanities, and the social sciences from around the world to explore the ways in which legal regulations and gender influence each other. From varying historical and cultural perspectives, participants addressed legal encounters with gender in the essential spaces of daily life: the body, the home, school, work, the nation, and the world.
