Gender: Femininities and Masculinities

What does society expect from you, as girls and boys, women and men? How do these expectations become relations of dependency or independence? What happens when you try to break out of these expectations?

Gender identities shape our everyday experiences. The study of gender relations is undertaken by all Social Science disciplines. This talk will focus on its relevance in Sociology and Cultural Studies. Come join us in an interactive session to learn more.
