Keynote Speaker
- Dr. Harper Keenan, Assistant Professor of Gender and Sexuality Research in Education.
Currently the Robert Quartermain Assistant Professor of Gender & Sexuality Research in Education, Dr. Keenan’s work involves the ways in which educators and their students, from early childhood to secondary school, might work together to interrupt sociocultural processes embedded in the heteronormative system.
“Breaking the Box: Gender, Freedom, and Control”
Dr. Keenan will provide an interactive workshop that invites participants to explore how gender shows up in everyday experience, especially in educational settings. Participants will explore what gender means in their own life, and how they might work toward greater gender freedom for themselves and their colleagues at work.
