Join the Department of Sociology for the 11th annual Kansas Gender & Sexuality Conference Friday, Oct. 18 on the third floor of the Rhatigan Student Center.
The free, interdisciplinary, state-wide conference brings together scholars, community organizations and students/future professionals to discuss gender and sexuality related work and issues in Kansas.
Attendees are welcome to attend the full conference or to join this year’s keynote featuring Dr. Meg Paceley, a social worker and scholar engaged in research that examines factors in the social environment (e.g. families, communities) and broader systems (e.g. policies, societal rhetoric) and their relationship to queer and trans youth’s mental and physical health. Their keynote, titled “Health, Activism, Community, and Resistance in an Era of Anti-LGBTQ+ Policy, Legislation, and Rhetoric,” will take place at 4 pm in 305/306 RSC, Beggs Ballroom, followed by a small reception with the speaker.
