This semester, we are hosting a series focused on gender and sexuality to raise awareness in students (and ourselves) around the numerous issues related to these topics. Discovering and talking about your gender or sexual identity can be complicated, particularly if you’re not speaking in your mother tongue. Two guest speakers and two members of the department will address these issues in a series of presentations and conversations.
Each session will be followed by an apéro!
