About The Event

Please join us at the Clay Pit Wednesday, December 4th at 6:00 PM as Dr. Ashleen Menchaca-Bagnulo outlines the factors that make women's involvement in the workforce especially challenging. She will also suggest some measures that could be taken to facilitate women's exit and re-entry into the workforce, given their dual role as caretakers and employees. Following her presentation, we will enjoy a roundtable discussion of this topic over a meal. The meal is free, but donations to help defray the cost are most welcome.

Space is limited to the first 20 people who register, so reserve your spot today!

Dr. Ashleen Menchaca-Bagnulo received her PhD in Political Science from the University of Notre Dame in the summer of 2013, with a primary specialization in Political Theory and a secondary specialization in American Politics. Dr. Menchaca-Bagnulo is a native of the south-central Texas region and a 2004 graduate of Canyon High School and 2008 graduate of Trinity University in San Antonio.

Her research interests lie in the Western Civic Republic tradition, particularly as represented in the thought of St. Augustine, Machiavelli, Montesquieu, and James Madison.
