• December 7, 2023 – Exploring Justice Through Various Perspectives: How Can Women’s and Gender Studies Create a Less Violent World for All?

  Thursday, December 07, 2023 | By cszczepanowski

  

  The Centre for Women’s and Gender Studies welcomes students to Social Sciences Day 2023! Students will explore how Women’s and Gender Studies can create a less violent world for all with a lecture from Associate Professor Dr. Hijin Park. Dr. Park’s lecture will explore the questions: How does society define safety and violence in ways that ignore marginalized people? What would happen if we prioritized the needs of Indigenous women, girls and two-spirited people? What if we abolished prisons and defunded the police? Should we eliminate sex and gender from identity documents?

  This presentation will include an introduction to student life by Kaleigh Evans, and an exploration of careers in Women’s and Gender Studies by Caitlin Szczepanowski.

  Thursday, December 7, 2023, from 10:35am to 12:10pm
