Fall 2011 DiversiTea
Making Definitions of Gender: Popular Culture as a Magic System Date Thursday, September 1, 2011
Time 12:00 Noon—1:30 PM
Location Library Room 223 We are all sophisticated users of popular culture but are we aware of how much of the message used is also part of our definitions of how we define a man or a woman? Do we consider popular culture a serious magnet for discourse or simply an entertainment phase? These and similar questions will be discussed in this DiversiTea session using media and popular culture as the magic system that builds and destroys our perceptions of gender.
