Gender, Sexuality, & Fem Studies

Join the Feminist Resource Center at Chellis House in its second annual Period Forum. We are collaborating with SPECs to host a fun and informative trivia game about “that time of the month,” specifically zooming in on issues of sustainability, sex, and social justice. Let’s SLAY our periods on this alternative almost valentine’s day red event!

From Hookup Culture to Consent Culture

Workshop Description: 

Ever heard about the researched “stages” of hookup culture? Have you wondered how substance use or power dynamics impact healthy consent practices? Do you want to use consent “right,” but it feels awkward, uncool, or interrupts the mood?

The Rohatyn Center for Global Affairs program on Global and International History presents Aparna Kapadia, associate professor of history at Williams College and ” Walking with the Mahatma: Kasturba Gandhi’s Political Life.”

Gender, Sexuality and Feminist Studies remarks for seniors and their families in Axinn 229 in conjunction with a joint reception in the Axinn Center Winter Garden at 4:30 p.m.
