Understanding Gender: A Virtual Panel

Register

Definitions of gender have varied across history and cultures, sometimes promoting consciousness of its diverse, expansive nature while others fostered misunderstanding, bias, and cultural ostracization.

Join us for a presentation, panel, and Q&A event to develop a critical lens to analyze gender individually and systemically while learning about how understandings of gender have evolved over time and how people can construct and experience gender.
