Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies

Assemblages Agenda

Women’s & Gender Studies will host a research symposium on February 20 from 2:00 in Curry 336 and 334. It will conclude with a Queerlesque performance in Curry 225 (Auditorium) from 8:30-11:30 PM.  The symposium will explore systems of oppression and methods for responding to 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, the mental health industry, activism, and more.

The symposium is absolutely free. This will not be a competitive atmosphere, but rather a networking opportunity dedicated to the exchange of knowledge. With this event, we hope to provide a space for students, faculty, alumni and others to come together to contribute to a larger discourse and engage in meaningful conversations about systemic oppressions embedded in social relations and institutions by sharing their work and research with one another. Undergraduate students, Graduate students, Faculty, and Alumni from all disciplines are welcomed and encouraged to submit. Participants are not limited to one presentation or panel.

When: Feb 20, 2:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Location: WGS Library, Curry Building
