The question of gender—who we are as men and women—has never been more pressing, or more misunderstood.
Weaving personal experience with expert knowledge, Dr. Abigail Favale will lecture on the gender paradigm: a framework for understanding reality and identity that has recently risen to prominence. She traces the genealogy of gender to its origins in feminism and postmodern thought, describing how gender has come to eclipse sex, and how that shift is reshaping language, law, medicine, sexuality, and our own self-perceptions.
This insightful lecture took place at Harvard College on March 7th, hosted by the Wollstonecraft Project at AAI and co-sponsored by the Thomistic Institute & Harvard Catholic Forum.
