Invite – Unexpected Gender with Dory Nason

Standard

Hello researchers working with gender+,

The Collective for Gender+ in Research, is hosting an exciting new Unexpected Gender series of learning sessions looking into unexpected or innovative ways that gender+ is brought into all stages of research process — from research question formation to knowledge dissemination.

Our first session is starting off with a discussion lead by Dr. Dory Nason, from Critical Indigenous Studies. We’ll be meeting on Thursday February 13th, from 12:00pm – 1:30pm, at Xʷθəθiqətəm the Place of Many Trees (Liu Institute, 6476 NW Marine Dr.).

Join us, but first, RSVP! 

Dory Nason’s areas of research include contemporary Indigenous Feminisms and related Native women’s intellectual history and literature. She locates Native literature as an important and evolving site of feminist, Indigenous resurgent, and anti-carceral resistance often overlooked.

Following an opening by Dr. Dory Nason, we will be opening to a question period and discussion of our experiences as researchers working towards engaging gender+. We see our graduate researcher audience as an important contributor to engage in the discussion.

Some questions we hope to explore include:

  • Was gender unexpected for you? In what ways might it have been unexpected?
  • How are you learning to bring into your research gender+, which is everywhere, but is often invisible/unaddressed?
  • How does gender+ show up in unexpected places and research?
  • How did gender+ make its way into your research, how did you hold the space to allow gender to enter?
  • How did you make gender+ more visible in your research dissemination?
  • Advice for young researchers moving towards gender+.

Unexpected Gender is about sharing our experiences, questions and identifying loci towards resource- and network-building in support a greater presence of gender+ research in at UBC.

RSVP now to confirm your participation.

In solidarity and feminism,
The Collective for Gender+ in Research
