What do we mean by “gender” and how is it different to “sex”? Are there really only two genders? How did these concepts become so important? In this seminar, we will explore these and many other questions about the role of gender in today’s society. We will touch on the issues faced by people of diverse genders and explore practical ways to become more inclusive of gender diversity in research.
