Gender as a Process

Anne Fausto-Sterling, a noted expert in gender studies, will present a free public lecture at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 2, in the Joe Rosenfield '25 Center, Room 101.

Fausto-Sterling, Nancy Duke Lewis Professor of biology and gender studies at Brown University, is a frequent commentator on feminist and scientific inquiry. Her lecture is titled "Gender as a Process, Not a Trait: Dynamic-Systems Approaches to Origins of Difference in Infancy."

Following Fausto-Sterling's talk, Lizzie Eason ’17 will give a brief presentation. Eason, a mathematics and statistics major, has been working with Fausto-Sterling on data analysis for the past year, applying a network-based modeling technique to Fausto-Sterling's data. Eason will present the results of her analysis.

Grinnell welcomes and encourages the participation of people with disabilities. The Rosenfield Center is fully accessible, with parking available in a lot on the east side of the building. Room 101 is equipped with an induction hearing loop system. You can request accommodations from the event sponsors — the departments of psychology and gender, women's, and sexuality studies — or Conference Operations.
