Why Gender?
What exactly is “gender?” And how do we use the term “gender”? World-renowned gender theorist Judith Butler offers her insights and wisdom through lectures on the subject of “gender.” First, she explains the differences between the biological “sex” and social “gender.”
She dives into how the term “gender,” which was first used in 20th century America with its current meaning, spread throughout the world over time and has evolved due to language and cultural translation issues.
As an authority in gender theory, Judith Butler will deliver lectures to give all of us living in this era a better understanding of what it means to be fully human with regards to “gender.”
