| Please consult the department directory for phone numbers as graduate
students move often. Also, most graduate students and faculty members have
quite hectic schedules. Therefore, please try to arrange for a lecture
well ahead of time.

Short (50 minute) interactive lecture used to introduce a constructionist
perspective of gender. It begins with and introduction of the meaning of
terms Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transsexual, Transvestite, Intersexual, and
Transgender. It illustrates the institutional (medical) constructions of
gender dichotomies. It ends with discussion of empowerment of transgender
community in resisting ender dichotomous norms.

Some of the white students were upset and felt that the African-American
parents’ techniques constituted "reverse racism." However, this is a good
introduction for a discussion on racism itself and whether or not it is
possible for a dominant group to be the "victim" of racial discrimination
by a less powerful group. NOTE: Naima expects that the class will have
covered the topic of race prior to her coming in. Therefore, she doesn’t
have to counter common stereotypes. (Erica Owens)

Alternative Families: A Very Personal Case Study
-
This is usually given for Marriage and the Family. I show the video of
my commitment ceremony and talk about my alternative family.
-
Gendered Movement, Gendered Sport, Gendered Bodies
-
This is usually given for Principles or Social Problems. I argue that the
current culture of sport in the US purposefully constructs masculinity
for men and inhibits women from understanding their physical ableness.
Thus, women become less abled and men become more abled.
