Gender & Bodies Workshop Event

You can also book to attend online

Speakers will discuss topics such as:

· How should we understand forms of gendered embodiment?

· How do gender and bodies relate to other areas of our lives, such as parenthood?

· Should we ‘abolish gender’? And if so, what does that involve?
