 ome's University - 290 Westmount Rd N\,\nÀ¶Ý®ÊÓƵ\, ON N2L 3G3. Doors open
  at 5 PM with opening remarks starting\nat 5:45 PM. Dr. Rebecca MacAlpine\
 , a History Department alumna\, will\nbe this year’s guest speaker. Dr. 
 Rebecca MacAlpine's talk is\ntitled: Shaming and Blaming: The Process of P
 roving Paternity in\nSeventeenth Century Somerset.\n\nOver the course of t
 he seventeenth century\, 1298 women came before the\nSomerset Quarter Sess
 ions to secure financial resources for the upkeep\nof their unborn childre
 n. In these records\, we find marginalized\nvoices of women silenced first
  by their experiences with the alleged\nfathers of their children and then
  by the courts whose objective was\nto avoid economic responsibility under
  the new Poor Laws of 1576. As a\nresult\, this process ensured that women
 ’s voices were present but\nultimately silenced. This talk will explore 
 how we can use Quarter\nSession records to uncover the lived experiences o
 f unwed mothers in\nearly modern Somerset. It will highlight how the proce
 dural mechanisms\nembedded in the Sessions further victimized unwed mother
 s and\nrepresents a form of institutionalized gender-based violence.\n\nTi
 ckets for students are priced at $25 and non-student tickets are\n$35.\n
