Sabancı University Gender and Women's Studies Forum starts "Gender Sessions"

Sabancı University Gender and Women's Studies Forum continues its efforts in education with three modules on “Philosophy and Gender”, “Film and Gender” and “Art and Gender”. The training modules will be held on Saturdays between 10 am and 1 pm at the Karaköy Minerva Palas. Admission is limited and the sessions will begin on March 14, 2015.

The first module, titled “Philosophy and Gender” will focus on how concepts such as science, human rights and racial intersection are positioned with regard to gender. The “Film and Gender” modüle will discuss representations of women and men in film and analyze how gender roles are built; and the third module, “Art and Gender," will discuss artistic intervention in gender.

Almadovar), Sabancı University Faculty Member Reyhan Tutumlu on “The Shining” (S. Kubrick) and Sabancı University Faculty Member Sibel Irzık on “M. Butterfly” (D. Cronenberg).
