In the ongoing (and often contentious) dialogue around gender, there are many specific questions on the notion of womanhood and how this intersects with other aspects of human identity. Together we will explore these issues, looking at theories of essentialism, nonbinary identities, feminism and intersectional politics. If you want to better understand some of the challenges amongst LGBTQ+ clients, explore how queerness can highlight certain core complexities of being human, or simply spend some time thinking about notions such as womanhood and gender, this talk is for you.
