On Equal Terms | Tradeswomen: Forward Into Our Fifth Decade

Setting up the On Equal Terms AFL-CIO Exhibition

IBEW Director of Civic and Community Engagement Tarn Goelling, AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Liz Shuler, and WSRC Scholar Susan Eisenberg at the opening of Eisenberg's installation, "On Equal Terms: Tradeswomen: Forward into Our Fifth Decade"  in the lobby gallery of the AFL-CIO in Washington D.C. The On Equal Terms Project draws on research, art, and personal testimony to analyze, convey, and address equity issues for women in historically-male occupations.

WSRC operates on principles of interdisciplinary exchange and discovery through three core programs: The Scholars Program, The Student Scholar Partnership Program and the Arts Program.

Be sure to check out our Affiliated Programs such as C-Change, a program that engages medical schools and academic health centers in action research promoting culture change, and On Equal Terms, a site-specific, mixed-media installation that brings viewers into the experiences of women who work in construction and skilled trades.
