What is Gender? (Thinking Critically about Society: Session Four)

The fourth session in the seminar series, Thinking Critically about Society. A night of feminist, queer, and gender theory presented in an open and inclusive way.

We suggest that you read a few of the articles that are posted on the website, which have been some of the most influential on the subject, but you can read as many or as few as you’d like. Electronic copies of all the articles below can be found for free on the website, or by visiting Old Capitol Books, 559 Tyler Street, Monterey.

This series of seminar sessions has been put together to encourage the exchange of ideas, experiences, and knowledge surrounding a particular topic or theme. We want to create a place where people can meet with other people from Monterey Bay communities to talk about current events and discuss new philosophies and ways of thinking critically about society. Though these seminars have been designed for non-students, and for those of us who have had little or no college experience, everyone is invited to participate. We believe that everyone can have something to offer to the seminars as we move through current debates in politics and different political and social theories.
