Gender Week 2019
Gender Week is March 18 - 22, 2019.
The Carolina Women’s Center and the LGBTQ Center organize Gender Week to encourage the campus and greater communities to better understand and map the intersections of identity and examine the ways that gender, race, class, etc. influence our daily lives.
The intersectional focus of Gender Week will challenge us to reexamine the assumptions and actions that make up our habits, while we have in-depth discussions of context and history to illuminate many truths about our identities and experiences that are often ignored.
