Gender 101: Cinnamon Rolls not Gender Roles
Gender 101 is a beginning workshop about the concepts of sex, sexual identity, gender, and gender identity. The workshop provides definitions for these constructs and will discuss in-depth some of the LGBTQIA+ and trans* population identities. The presenter, Lee Helbert, will touch on pronoun usage and those complexities in the trans* vocabulary.
Learning objectives:
- Discuss some of the LGBTQIA+ definitions and trans* population identities
- Understand more about pronoun usage
- Recognize that gender is not binary.
The presenter, Lee Helbert, has been working at Prairie State College in a variety of roles since August of 1998. She is currently working on her Ed.D. in Higher Education with a community college focus at NIU. For her coursework, she focused many of her assignments and papers on LGBTQIA+ issues.
