Undoing Gender Bias Fellowship with CERRU
by Yael Rosenstock 21 Nov '18

21 Nov '18

The Center for Ethnic, Racial, and Religious Understanding will be hosting an *Undoing Gender Bias Fellowship* this spring. We are accepting applications until *DEC 1ST. *Please see more information below and in the application <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScHGAMb0k9LwuIKfi7Ln0NzCCM35uxqbxN…> . We’ve all been taught that we’re not man enough or woman enough to be loved and/or respected in our society. Sexism, Misogyny, Transphobia, Homophobia are all sources of inequities and traumas that impede our ability to connect with each other and live an actualized life. Often when we think of gender bias, we view women as the single object of gendered harm. This fellowship will take a semester to explore the ways in which gender and sexuality bias impacts gender non-conforming people, women and men. It also looks deeply at how gender and sexuality allow us to internalize messages that impact our health and asks us do we feel enough in our skin, bodies, and hearts. Undoing Gender Bias also means learning how to take down gender bias in our romantic and sexual relationships. Join this fellowship to understand your own relationship with boundaries and gender roles. Students learn the following: - How systems of gender bias were created in the United States - The values of gender-biased systems - Ways in which we as individuals uphold sexist ideology and bias - Ways this system of gender bias impacts us and our relationships to self and others - Language on how to interrupt gender harassment *You can apply HERE <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScHGAMb0k9LwuIKfi7Ln0NzCCM35uxqbxN…>. * Yael Rosenstock Associate Director The Center for Ethnic, Racial, and Religious Understanding at Queens College (CERRU) Staff Advisor, grrrlz <https://www.facebook.com/QCGrrrlz/> Co-Founder, Facilitator, and Researcher, QC Sexploration and Information Group <https://www.facebook.com/QCSexplorationAndInformationGroup/> office: Delany Hall, room 215 phone: 718-570-0482 email: yrosenstock(a)cerru.org www.cerru.org *Donate Here <https://qccommunity.qc.cuny.edu/pages/funds/center-for-ethnic-racial-and-re…>* “If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time.
