'Women's Table' gives female faculty
opportunities to share their work

"Black Holes, Jets and Einstein's Dream" will be the topic of a talk on Tuesday, Dec. 4, by Meg Urry, professor of physics and astrophysics, as part of the Women's Table series.

Her talk will take place 4-6 p.m. in the Presidents' Room of Woolsey Hall, corner of Grove and College streets. All women faculty members at Yale are invited to attend.

The Women's Table provides a forum for women faculty at the University to share their research with one another and aims to foster community amongst women who teach and work at Yale. Those who take part have an opportunity to learn about the work being done by colleagues in a range of fields across the University.

Urry, who joined the Yale faculty this fall and is also director of the new Yale Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics, focuses her research on active galaxies -- those with luminous cores that are likely powered by massive black holes. She was previously a tenured member of the senior scientific staff at the Space Telescope Science Institute, where she headed the Science Program Selection Office, which oversees the solicitation and review of Hubble Space Telescope observing proposals. Urry is also interested in the issue of women and minorities in science.

Other upcoming talks in the Women's Table series are listed below. All Friday talks take place noon-2 p.m., and lunch is provided. Thursday talks are held 4-6 p.m., and refreshments are provided.

Friday, Jan. 25 -- Laura Wexler, associate professor of women's and gender studies and American studies, "Visuality and Violence," Rm. 211 of the Hall of Graduate Studies, 320 York St.

Tuesday, March 5 -- Mary Floyd-Wilson, assistant professor of English, "Shakespeare's 'Othello' and Early Modern Concepts of Race," Presidents' Room, Woolsey Hall.

Friday, April 12 -- Vicki Schultz, professor of law, "The Sanitized Workplace," Presidents' Room, Woolsey Hall.
