Feb. 24: Cultural Competency Lecture Series–Gender

Helen Boyd Kramer, lecturer of gender studies and Freshman Studies, will present Gender in the 21st Century on Feb. 24 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Warch Campus Center’s Pusey Room.

This presentation will cover a variety of gender identities and expressions, including trans, queer and GNC (gender nonconforming) identities, as well as the basics of gender-neutral pronouns, etiquette around transition and non-binary identities, how to create a welcoming and inclusive space for those of all genders, and how sexual orientation does and doesn’t intersect with gender identity and expression.

The Cultural Competency Lecture Series at Lawrence features our faculty, students and staff sharing their expertise related to the knowledge and skills necessary to take a culturally competent, equity-minded approach to the work and learning in which they are engaged at Lawrence. Bring your lunch and learn!

Please join us by sending a RSVP to michelle.l.lasecki-jahnke@lawrence.edu by Feb. 20.
