Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies

Given that March is Women’s History Month, our second iteration of this event will focus on women in history. Including but not limited to women’s health activism in zines from the 90’s, the intersections of birth control and the welfare state, and women’s rights movements.

This will be held in Curry 334, from 3:30-5PM

The WGS Media Meets Theory series will use (feminist) theories from WGS classes to analyze a pop culture artifact, text, or current event in the media. It is our hope that this series will function as a way to bring better visibility to certain subjects, a way to apply WGS coursework to real-world events, and to create a better understanding of theories used in WGS courses, in which students explore systems of oppression, examining the significance, relationships, and power dynamics of race, sexuality, gender, class, ability, species, etc. in such spaces as education, the prison industrial complex, the animal industrial complex, media representations, the mental health industry, activism, and more.

When: Mar 02, 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm

Location: Curry 334
