Phil Homan to Speak at Spring 2021 Fettucine Forum

ISU equine historian, professor, and academic librarian Philip Homan will speak at the Boise City Department of Arts & History’s Fettuccine Forum on Thursday, March 4 at 6 p.m. The theme of the Spring 2021 Fettuccine Forum is “Bellwethers of Change: Women and Movements that Influenced Idaho and America.”

Homan’s program “‘She Is a New Type’: The Western Womanhood of Kittie Wilkins, the Horse Queen of Idaho” will consider Wilkins as an ambassador of Western womanhood and how she challenged the feminism of the twentieth century.

The City of Boise’s Fettuccine Forum “is a lively and informal virtual gathering, which invites the public to interact with politicians, artists, historians, activists, advocates, and professionals in an effort to promote good citizenship and responsible growth through education.”

The online event is free, with pre-registration required at boiseartsandhistory.org.

Homan is Instruction Librarian at the ISU Libraries.
