Contemporary Issues in Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies: Sex Ed, Sexual Health, and Women of Color

Contemporary Issues in Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies Students in Introduction to Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies Spring 2020 present collaborative posters featuring a contemporary issue related to women, gender & sexuality studies that is currently a focus of activism. Working in groups of 3-6, students researched and designed an informative poster that introduces this issue, applies threshold concepts from the course (social construction of gender, structures of privilege and oppression, intersectionality), and includes examples of activism around the issue. Each poster will be accompanied by a brief presentation.
