Gender & Sexual Identities Colloquium

About

The Gender & Sexual Identities Colloquium highlights feminist research and debates challenging Western culture definition of gender as a binary concept, with two rigidly fixed options: male or female, both grounded in a person's physical anatomy. Through multiple presentations we intend to reach farther into the understanding of biology, gender expression, and gender identity as intersected in a multidimensional array of possibilities.

TheGender & Sexual Identities Colloquium is typically held on Friday at the end of Pride Week. 

Why is it held in October?

Since 1994, October is nationally recognized as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex and Asexual (LGBTQIA) History Month.  Keeping with the spirit of this month as an educational platform, we decided to highlight research topics centered around gender & sexual identities. Topics from previous colloquiums have included; gender and identity within the media, gender and political activism, cultural construction of gender, psychology of roles, and teaching diversity specific to LGBTQIA history in the classroom.
