THE SECOND ANNUAL GWSS SPRING COMMUNITY GATHERING

Join us for the Annual Gender, Women & Sexuality Studies Community Gathering that brings leading feminist thinkers into community with local activists, allies, and alumni. This spring, Amanda Lock Swarr<https://discover.uw.edu/MTMxLUFRTy0yMjUAAAGSjD5NVbwj8XCJEFeR8LPyZE8Q9VPlDDX6XKSh1F1q9KeiCMAMNXFaudjC358RXCiqAncv0-A=> will discuss her recent book Envisioning African Intersex<https://discover.uw.edu/MTMxLUFRTy0yMjUAAAGSjD5NVukX-MAVDTbqu4RYbQF2TuzrWpFWYYSSnEhMYEt4wdUT51QYLm-sr8Jb-OjrPNvJrxA=> in conversation with Hil Malatino<https://discover.uw.edu/MTMxLUFRTy0yMjUAAAGSjD5NVjWIH1QX4xzGHQ7C75K7muvh-2_EzPY9iMS3aJo7tqItT-Jk2gl_Oct51qtAnZf7Zc0=>. These scholars at the forefront of intersex and transgender studies will delve into the legacy of medical violence on intersex and gender non-conforming lives and the resistance and visions of activists advocating for change, on local and global stages.
Swarr's Envisioning African Intersex exposes the colonial and racist histories of intersex medicine and highlights collective actions of intersex activists in African contexts. Her work explores how these activists are challenging and reframing our understandings of sex and gender. Malatino and Swarr's discussion will address this book and tackle some of the most pressing contemporary issues related to gender binaries, including the invisibility of intersex and possibilities for coalitions in the face of ongoing political attacks. They will think with those in attendance about what we should all do to depathologize and center intersex.
This conversation, mixed with a book signing with Left Bank Books <https://discover.uw.edu/MTMxLUFRTy0yMjUAAAGSjD5NVfSs6PnZCATi9XYZ6Ij780QC9eJ-6acAVh6np9uZ0osekZkv-2_PiuAdlks6bFPBN_w=> and a delicious bibimbap buffet from Oma Bap<https://discover.uw.edu/MTMxLUFRTy0yMjUAAAGSjD5NVR_iuuT2OhsvWaJSzg8W5u07JtqUq9Qx5pCq8b1sqJ-ztujrJjp003KCawfMekZA0KU=>, offers a celebratory opportunity to engage with two visionary authors who are taking the field of Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies in exciting new directions that move beyond binary ideas of men vs women. This event is free of charge and open to all. Students, faculty, and interested community members are welcome!
