LGBT Resource Center Conference Room. Wed, Dec 2. 5-7pm
Homonormativity?  What exactly is homonormativity and how does it look like within the LGBT community?  Queer culture and queer subjects in media produce norms that have the power of marginalizing people within the LGBT community.  I know it's Week 10, but take a break and come discuss homonormativity and how it impacts the potential for progress within the LGBT community and the agency we have in our own lives!  If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email Christopher Datiles.

The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence is an international campaign originating from the first Women's Global Leadership Institute sponsored by the Center for Women's Global Leadership in 1991. Participants chose the dates, November 25, International Day Against Violence Against Women and December 10, International Human Rights Day, in order to symbolically link violence against women and human rights and to emphasize that such violence is a violation of human rights. This 16-day period also highlights other significant dates including November 29, International Women Human Rights Defenders Day, December 1, World AIDS Day, and December 6, which marks the Anniversary of the Montreal Massacre.

The Women's Center is participating in the 16 Days Campaign with the following programs:

* 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence Blog

In recognition of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence,  the Women's Center has decided to create a blog discussing issues surrounding gender violence in an effort to outreach and educate the community.  On each day, from November 25th- December 10th, we will be publishing short articles and/or artistic pieces on different topics related to the 16 Days Campaign.
