Feminist Education Series 2016-2017: "Body Talk"
The Feminist Education Series is an annual programmatic series focused on a particular topic in feminism. This program runs for the entire academic year and will consist of 4 to 6 programs ranging from large scale programs to film screenings to discussions to speakers.
The 2016-2017 theme was: "Body Talk." The WGC explored topics of body positivity, sizism, self love, and physical and emotional health. We complicated the conversation on body positivity by providing an intersectional framework. Fall events in the series included a "Body Positive Pool Party" on September 10th and a yoga class and discussion with Jessamyn Stanley on October 5th.
In spring, we hosted a dialogue on Trans and Nonbinary identities on March 3rd in collaboration with the Queer Resource Center.
