MGender is a six-week dialogue/discussion group offered during the fall and winter terms about the multiple realities and possibilities surrounding gender identity and gender expression. Through the use of conversation, experiential learning, and other forms of expression, we will share, explore and challenge notions of gender. It is our goal to create a climate of support and understanding for all participants in order to engage in a deeper exploration and understanding of gender identity and gender expression. This dialogue intends to provide a space for the celebration and recognition of various forms of gender identity and gender expression. The dialogues will include exercises, various opportunities for personal expression, and interactive discussions in order to explore the construct of gender. The maximum number of participants is limited to twelve. Participants must pre-register for the dialogues and are expected to attend all sessions. The dialogues will be closed to only the participants who attend the first dialogue. Participation is open to students, staff, faculty, and community members. Participation will be free of cost and voluntary. Ground rules and expectations to guide our interactions will be created at the beginning of the first session.
