Anne Fausto-Sterling's Lecture on "Gender Development"

Описание: Anne Fausto-Sterling is the Nancy Duke Lewis Professor Emerita of Biology and Gender Studies in the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology and Biochemistry at Brown University, and founder and former director of the Science & Technology Studies Program at Brown University. The author of three books that are referenced widely in feminist and scientific inquiry and over 60 scholarly articles, she is also a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and has received grants and fellowships in both the sciences and the humanities. She is currently focused on applying dynamic systems theory to the study of gender differentiation in early childhood. Her ambition is to restructure dichotomous conversations — inside the academy, in public discourse, and ultimately in the framing of social policy — in order to enable an understanding of the inseparability of nature/nurture.

What is Phil-Free?
Phil-Free is an educational community, established by the voluntary students of the Philosophy Department at Boğaziçi University. It is the 21st century, yet, as young generations, we are trying to make room for discussions of our problems about human rights, freedom, and equality in and outside of school. We see the oppression stored behind the lack of diversity in lecture syllabuses, prejudicial portrayal of Womxn and LGBTIQ+ members, and oppressive consequences of race, gender, disability, and class differences more clearly. After the appointed rector to our school, we wanted to take our part to build socially aware societies since human rights seem to be far from institutions. Our motive is to create a nonhierarchic space for empowering and informative conversations on various topics in line with ongoing social struggles.

We will be sharing recordings of our Open-Classes with English and Turkish subtitles on our Youtube Channel.

We all love knowledge. Right?? Keep in touch, buddy.
