Conversations about Gender
The purpose of
this semi-structured discussion group is to facilitate dialogue about
challenges, expectations, and messages regarding gender roles. Within the
context of respectful and open dialogue, we hope to increase self-awareness,
challenge stereotypes, and share different perspectives regarding
gender-related issues. All are welcome to share their experiences and ideas,
particularly those who are wondering how they can express their perspective and
learn from others.
