Posted 10/18/2001

Women & Learning lecture series logoMADISON --Women & Learning, a lecture series by three nationally known UW-Madison scholars, will feature Deborah Blum in the second lecture, Thursday, Nov. 1. The lectures, sponsored by the Friends of the UW-Madison Libraries, sample women’s scholarship in literature, science, and history.

Blum, a journalism and mass communications professor, will present the second lecture, "The Nature of Love," at 4:30 p.m. Blum won a Pulitzer Prize in 1992 for her newspaper series on primate research that inspired her book, The Monkey Wars. In 1997 she wrote Sex on the Brain: The Biological Differences Between Men and Women. She is now writing a biography of Harry Harlow, the pioneering psychologist and founder of the UW-Madison's Primate Center. Harlow helped drive a revolution in psychology that forced science to confront the nature of affection and relationships.

Blum's lecture will be in room 126 Memorial Library, 728 State St.
