Associated Students Productions brings the last installment of the religion and spirituality lecture series, Marguerite Rigoglioso on Wednesday, Dec. 5 at 7 p.m. in the Student Union Multipurpose Room. Admission is free.
Women's spirituality scholar Marguerite Rigoglioso explores goddess-centered religions then and now, mysterious unnamed goddesses of Europe, Greece, and a surprise hidden goddess in Judaism and Christianity. The lecture also looks at which goddesses have retained starring roles in unbroken traditions around the world, and what it meant for women's lives when God wore the skirt in the family.
Rigoglioso holds an M.A. and PhD. in humanities, philosophy, and religion from the California Institute of Integral Studies, where her research focused on the study of female divinity and women's priestess traditions. Her work has taken her to the caves of Crete, Sicily, and thecathedrals of France, and Tunisa. She teaches in New College's women's spirituality program, and at Dominican University of California, where she is helping to establish women's spirituality as an undergraduate discipline.
