Lets Talk About Gender Justice

Mon, April 4, 2022, 4:30pm-6:00pm PT

This workshop will explore ways to communicate with children around topics of gender stereotypes and oppression.

Children are socialized early to understand social roles and identities which are influenced by cultural and interpersonal messages. Through regular conversations, families and educators can counter these messages and empower children to construct less restrictive narratives and challenge normative thinking.

Participants will reflect on their own socialization around gender, and leave with some specific ways to talk about gender and sexism with their preschool-aged children.
