November 20- 7:30AM-9:30AM WWIN in-person meeting
at Chatfield, One Chatfield Drive, West Hartford. This morning our special guest will be Katie Kornacki of Jeopardy fame!
West Hartford Women in Networking welcomes interested women to join us
for our November gathering. For fifteen years, WWIN has been offering opportunities that empower and connect women. This session will be no exception and will consist of Introductions,
Announcements and lots of Networking.
Our special guest will be :
Katie Kornacki, Jeopardy
champion!
Dr. Kornacki will be speaking about her Jeopardy experience as well as the early history of the women's club
movement in the U.S. This movement began in the mid 19th century and became a social reform movement for various issues in the U.S. The clubs were involved in issues surrounding education, child
labor, environmental protection, legal reforms, library creation and more. These clubs allowed women, who had little political power at the time, to gain influence in their
communities.
Katie
Kornacki fulfilled a life-long dream of appearing on the quiz show Jeopardy back in June. She is a self-proclaimed "trivia nerd". Professionally, she is a professor of English at Caldwell
University, and also previously served as department Chair and as Director of the Honors Program. She specializes in nineteenth-century American literature, women’s literature, transcendentalism, and
American studies. Dr. Kornacki is also the former editor of Conversations: The Newsletter of the Margaret Fuller Society and appeared on an episode
of the BBC World Service’s The Forum entitled, “Margaret Fuller: Early Feminist and War Correspondent.” She earned her PhD in Literature from
UConn, during which time she also worked at the Stowe Center as an interpreter and front desk coordinator. Born in Hartford and raised in Massachusetts, she recently returned to Hartford where she
now lives with her 4-year-old daughter, Anne. She looks forward to becoming an active member of the greater Hartford community.
