Gender and Sexuality

Gender is socially constructed. This is a fact that we often don't take into account when we discuss the definition of gender and the expectations that we now question. We tend to forget we have the power to change and reject these social constructions.

What is male and what is female? What happens to those that don't quite fit into either category? These questions and the issues that relate to our understanding (and misunderstanding) of gender is what this unit explores from a social justice lens and from a number of perspectives.
