Center for Women and Gender Equity

Exploring Gender Justice is an introductory program that invites examination of the ways gender shapes our social world. The Center for Women & Gender Equity's approach recognizes the multitude of ways that gender-based oppression intersects with other forms of oppression.  This 50-minute presentation is designed to invite understanding of how social identities are constructed and how we can work to create a world that is more just. The goals of Exploring Gender Justice are:

• Cultivate an understanding of socially constructed identities and their real-world implications.
• Unpack ideas around hegemonic gender roles and stereotypes.
• Create dialogue around concepts of power, privilege, and oppression and how these link to social identity.
