Dear friends,
Please mark your calendars and join the Department of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies for a spine-tingling in-person panel discussion “What's So Scary About Gender Studies" on Monday, October 30, 2023 from 3:30 to 5 PM EST at Thompson Library (11th Floor, Room 1120)—just in time for Halloween. From abortion access to trans rights, attacks on “wokeness” to dismantling DEI initiatives, gender studies is at the heart of public debates right now. But maybe what’s so “scary” about gender studies is the promise to challenge oppression and to imagine different worlds.

Professors Bayan Abusneineh, Nicole Nieto, and Ashley Smith-Purviance and PhD candidate Lily Blakely will speak to current debates and beyond from the expansive perspectives of feminist and gender studies. The discussion will be moderated by Professor Linda Mizejewski.

This event is free and open to the public. It is organized by the Department of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies and made possible by support from the Mellon Foundation.

For those who attend in-person, Halloween candy, snacks, and drinks will be provided.
For those who would like to attend virtually, please register here for the zoom webinar: https://osu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_HgJuqCoRTXyjRwaePUiRDg
The OSU Thompson Library facility accessibility information can be found here<https://library.osu.edu/accessibility-resources>. If you require an accommodation such as live interpretation or captioning (whether attending in-person or virtually) to participate in this event, please contact Jian Neo Chen at chen.982 at osu.edu<mailto:chen.982 at osu.edu> by Monday, October 16, 2023.

*I would like to acknowledge that the land The Ohio State University occupies is the ancestral and contemporary territory of the Shawnee, Potawatomi, Delaware, Miami, Peoria, Seneca, Wyandotte, Ojibwe, and Cherokee peoples. Specifically, the university resides on land ceded in the 1795 Treaty of Greeneville and the forced removal of tribes through the Indian Removal Act of 1830. We want to honor the resiliency of these tribal nations and recognize the historical contexts that have and continue to affect the Indigenous peoples of this land.*
