1) "Understanding the Historical Context of 'The Radium Girls,'" March 24

Radium Girls is the true story of female factory workers in the early 1920s who contracted radiation poisoning from painting watch dials with self-luminous paint. Their story touches on many different studies such as labor relations, women's studies, ethnic studies, and environmental studies, among others. Join Iván González-Soto of Cal Poly Humboldt's Environmental Studies Department to learn more about these remarkable women's fight for justice and then attend the play afterwards in John Van Duzer Theater.
