Gender has traditionally been discussed in terms of male and female roles, but our understanding has expanded in recent years.
Gender has traditionally been discussed in terms of male and female roles, but our understanding has expanded in recent years. Susan Knoppow, the parent of two non-binary children, will help untangle this complex, confusing issue from a personal perspective as a parent and discuss what a new understanding of gender can mean for us, our families, and our communities. Susan will explore the basics (How does gender differ from sexuality?), pronouns (Is they really singular?), adult engagement (How can we support the teens we care about?), and how students might share their gender journey with others if they choose to.
You will be prompted to register, which will bring you to the On Demand viewing option.
