• October 28, 2024 – Disrupting Racialized-Gendered Normative Identification in a Feminist Classroom

  Thursday, October 03, 2024 | By cszczepanowski

  

  Join us for the second talk of the Work-in-Progress Series in the the PhD Program in Interdisciplinary Humanities, “Disrupting Racialized-Gendered Normative Identification in a Feminist Classroom,” presented by Alia Wazzan.

  Alia Wazzan is a teaching assistant in the Centre for Women’s and Gender Studies and a PhD student in the Interdisciplinary Humanities program, specializing in postcolonial feminism. As a postcolonial feminist educator, Alia will demonstrate how implicit and normalized racialized-gendered discourses of Othering infiltrate classroom discussions and how teaching assistants/instructors can subvert them. The presentation contributes to the often fraught debates on achieving safe and inclusive classroom environments for students from diverse backgrounds.

• April 6, 2024 – YWCA Annual Niagara Leadership Summit For Women

  Friday, April 05, 2024 | By cszczepanowski

  

  Join for an exciting all-day event of speakers and workshops at the YWCA’s 10th Annual Niagara Leadership Summit For Women!

  The Niagara Leadership Summit For Women presents an inclusive environment to encourage and celebrate women leaders in our community and opens the conversation surrounding women’s issues in Niagara. The event is hosted by the YWCA Niagara Region.

  Everyone, regardless of gender, should have the courage and confidence to be the leader they are and want to be. Leadership is not about being ‘at the top’—there are leaders all around us who make a difference every day. This event offers many valuable opportunities for women leaders and allies to connect, share common goals and evaluate common challenges, and network with like-minded community leaders.

  This year’s theme of Bold and Unapologetic encourages women leaders to be authentic, assert their worth, and unapologetically pursue their goals and aspirations. It’s about fostering a culture where women feel empowered to lead without constantly apologizing for their success or feeling the need to downplay their achievements. The goal is to redefine leadership norms, challenge biases, and create a more inclusive and equitable environment for women in leadership positions.

  Saturday, April 6, 2024, from 9:00am to 4:00pm
  Thistle Hallway at Brock University, with speakers in the Sean O’Sullivan Theatre
  Tickets are $30 per person and will include lunch and free childcare.

  For more information on ticket purchasing, the program, speakers, workshops, and frequently asked questions, visit the YWCA Niagara Region’s event page.
