Warren Kunce describes the workshop as follows
A workshop on gender identity and expression at SLU for PhD students:
We'll take a look at working environment policies, anti-discrimination law and other structures that impact the work/study situation for transgender, intersex, non-binary and gender non-conforming students and co-workers. Relevant historical context is provided to illuminate why these laws/policies exist and what purposes they are intended to serve. There will be an overview of the different embodiments and identities affected by these policies and address common misunderstandings and points of confusion. We'll engage with the practicalities of developing a university culture that celebrates freedom of thought while also complying with Swedish working rights legislation and the university's efforts to attract/retain diverse students and faculty.
Warren Kunce is an experienced educator, lecturer and advisor on transgender questions, inclusive places and (multi)gender mainstreaming, you ca read more here.
