Acquiring Gender: From Baby in a Yellow Hat to Gender Identity and Expression
Date – Monday, 26th June at 12 o’clock
Place – Segimon Serrallonga Hall
Responsible for the activity – Gerard Coll Planas, director of Centre for Interdisciplinary Gender Studies (CEIG)
Speaker/s:
- Dr. Anne Fausto-Sterling, Brown University (United States) Professor Emerita and fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. She is a leading expert in biology and gender development. Using a groundbreaking new approach to understanding gender differences, Dr. Fausto-Sterling is shifting old assumptions about how humans develop particular traits. Dynamic systems theory permits one to understand how cultural difference becomes bodily difference. By applying a dynamic systems approach to the study of human development, her work exposes the flawed premise of the nature versus nurture debate.
