黑洞社区
Each year, the Wichita State Sociology Department works with several co-sponsors to host a conference showcasing the gender and sexuality related scholarship happening across our state. We invite submissions of original research and scholarship in any discipline from colleges and universities in Kansas. Our primary goals are to create connections and dialogue among gender and sexuality scholars across the state and to provide students an opportunity to gain experience presenting research.
We are pleased to announce that our keynote speaker this year will be Dr. Lisa Wade, an author, blogger, and a professor of sociology at Occidental College. Dr. Wade is the co-author of Gender: Ideas, Interactions, Institutions and the founder and principal writer for the popular website, Sociological Images (thesocietypages.org/socimages). She will lead a workshop on online feminist pedagogy and give a talk on hookup culture on college campuses.
We hope you can join us!
