Open House (Coming August 2013)
Gender Learning Community
Open House is University Housing's newest learning community, set to be introduced in August 2013. Sponsored by the Gender and Women's Studies Department, Open House welcomes students who wish to examine both conventional and transformational assumptions about gender and sexuality. Come participate in building an intentional community dedicated to social change and safe space!
All Are Welcome
Students from all genders, sexualities, and racial/ethnic/cultural backgrounds/disciplines are invited to learn in a safe and inviting space within the beautiful Phillips Hall on the shore of Lake Mendota to better understand:
- Gender, power, perception, and inequalities in socioeconomic status, law, health care, and education
- How language and media promote particular gender norms and expectations
- The history and current issues of LGBTQI people
- The power and privilege of particular social groups and the crucial role of allies in making change
- One's own identity formation
