The Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Symposium will highlight the student research by WGSS minors, Queer Studies students, and other students in the campus community. This year the keynote speaker will be Dr. Kate Manne. Dr. Manne will deliver her keynote, “He Said, She Listened: On Epistemic Entitlement, Mansplaining, and Gaslighting” at 1 p.m. in the Prairie Rooms of the Bone Student Center.

The annual symposium, now in its 28th year, will be held between 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 27, in the Prairie Rooms of the Bone Student Center at Illinois State University.

The symposium showcases the scholarship being done by students at Illinois State University and neighboring institutions. The event is free and open to the public. The symposium, much like Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies discipline, is committed to a transformative analysis of gender as it intersects with class/caste, sexuality, race, ethnicity, ability, age, coloniality, and transnationality.
