Discussion led by Amanda Kinard, Lecturer, English and Women’s and Gender Studies

Thursday, October 11, Noon–1:00 p.m., Sarratt 112

This march brings together the Vanderbilt and Nashville communities to raise awareness and disrupt gendered racism in STEM. We walk in solidarity to actively dismantle the structural oppression in the workforce and academia and celebrate the ways black women resist, speak up and out, and embody agency.

The Women’s and Gender Studies Program at Vanderbilt Presents: Gender/Sexuality Matters: Fall 2018

Come join us for informal discussions on some of the most pressing gender/sexuality matters currently facing women and LGBTQI+ communities in Nashville, on the Vanderbilt campus, as well as nationally and internationally. These will be informal conversations with experts in specific areas. We may also pursue ways to discuss the topic further in the future. All talks will take place in Buttrick 123; snacks and beverages will be provided. Undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, staff, and community members are welcome to attend. We would love to have you!
