DESCRIPTION:"Sacraments as Weapons: Kyriarchy and Women’s Resistance in the
  19th-Century Convent."&nbsp\;Margaret Susan Thompson\, Associate Professo
 r\, History and Political Science\, Syracuse University. &nbsp\;This talk 
 will focus on extensive and repeated examples in 19th-century conventual a
 rchives of sacraments being used by clerics—and sometimes by female superi
 ors\, as well—as weapons to control both the spirituality and the behavior
  of Catholic sisters. These nuns repeatedly experienced the sacraments—or\
 , more accurately\, the deprivation of sacraments—as instruments of power 
 and control wielded by priests and hierarchs against vowed women who were 
 considered to be deviant or insufficiently submissive. The intent is to an
 alyze the phenomenon as more than just a collection of exceptional or arbi
 trary cases\, but rather as systemic and oppressive behavior. What might a
 ppear as an aberrant example if the focus is on only one community can eme
 rge as part of an important pattern by using a broader analytical lens. Th
 is is a work in progress\, for which feedback is both welcome and apprecia
 ted!Conversations in Conflict Studies is a weekly educational speaker seri
 es for students\, faculty\, and the community. The series\, sponsored by P
 ARCC\, draws its speakers from Syracuse University faculty\, national and 
 international scholars and activists\, and PhD students.&nbsp\;Pizza is se
 rved. Follow us on Twitter @PARCCatMaxwell\, tweet #ConvoInConflict.If you
