Share this event:


Reading (Oct 25, 26, Nov 2): Eclipsed exposes the scandal of the Magdalene Laundries. The playwright Patricia Burke Brogan, herself a former nun, worked in an institutional laundry when she was a novice. Eclipsed was inspired by the practice of making pregnant and unwed Irish mothers work as penitents in church-run laundries. Supervised by nuns who regarded these women as mindless vessels of evil, the women were treated as slaves and their infants were forcibly put up for adoption. The year 2016, the centenary of the 1916 Rising, is also the 20-year anniversary of the closure of the last Magdalene Laundry in Ireland.

Film and Panel (Nov 3): A showing of the documentary Sex in a Cold Climate about the Magdalene Laundries, followed by a panel discussion with:

- Charlotte Headrick, Prof(Emeritus) OSU, expert on Eclipsed and the work of Patricia Burke Brogan
- Kryn Freehling-Burton, Senior Instructor, Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Oregon State University
- Karin Magaldi, Professor, Head of Theater, Portland State University
- Ellen Margolis, Professor, Theatre & Dance Department Chair, Pacific University
- Jane Vogel, PhD, President, Age and Gender Equity in the Arts
