SUMMARY:Online - Refraction: A Gender and Sexuality Discussion Series
DESCRIPTION:Session 1: Book Bans and the Freedom to Read\nIssues related to gender and sexuality continue to be paramount in many areas\, including politics\, law\, health care\, parenting\, identity\, and social justice. In this three-part discussion series\, we will consider how gender and sexuality are refracted\, or how their meaning and social expression are changing and moving as we think through the topics of book bans\, transgender rights\, and masculinity. \nBooks continue to be banned or challenged across the nation\, and Minnesota is not exempt in that respect. Book bans have risen by a third over the past year in public schools\, and many of these bans are targeting LGBTQ+ characters\, themes\, and intersectional identities. This session of Refraction: A Gender and Sexuality Discussion Series will examine the controversy over sexuality and book bans and provide an opportunity to hear directly from authors whose work has been challenged. Quatrefoil Library\, a library and queer gathering space in the Twin Cities\, will be in conversation with J.J. Austrian\, author of Worm Loves Worm\, Trung Le Nguyen\, author of The Magic Fish\, and Junauda Petrus\, author of The Stars and the Blackness Between Them. \nWhat you can expect from this series: \n\nScholars\, experts\, community members\, and authors will share what the landscape looks like nationally and in Minnesota\, as well as talk about their personal experiences and perspectives.		\nEach session will have a resource list of articles\, books\, and organizations to help you gain a deeper understanding of the issues at hand.\nEngage in small and large group discussions as well as exploring ways to effect change and take action.\n\nRegistration\nRegistration is required. There is no cost to attend; sign up for one or all three sessions. Each session will take place virtually; a zoom link will be sent closer to the date of the session.  \nEducators can receive CEU’s for attending. \nRegistration Questions: registrations@mnhum.org \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS CLOSED

SUMMARY:Online - Refraction: A Gender and Sexuality Discussion Series
DESCRIPTION:Session 3: Detoxing Masculinity\nIssues related to gender and sexuality continue to be paramount in many areas\, including politics\, law\, health care\, parenting\, identity\, and social justice. In this three-part discussion series\, we will consider how gender and sexuality are refracted\, or how their meaning and social expression are changing and moving as we think through the topics of book bans\, transgender rights\, and masculinity. \nMany experts agree that the men and boys of the United States are not ok. By many measures they are falling behind and many of the impacts are less widely talked about. This session of Refraction: A Gender and Sexuality Discussion Series will seek to pull apart the term toxic masculinity and look instead at detoxing masculinity. Hamline Professor Ryan Jerome LeCount will talk about masculinity and its social expression\, particularly in the area of politics and social change in Minnesota and the United States. He will be joined by author Jeremy Norton\, who recently published Trauma Sponges\, a first-hand account of his experience working as an EMT in the emergency response sector\, and what it means for a male-dominated industry to be both full of bravura heroics and deal with intense trauma on a daily basis. \nWhat you can expect from this series: \n\nScholars\, experts\, community members\, and authors will share what the landscape looks like nationally and in Minnesota\, as well as talk about their personal experiences and perspectives.		\nEach session will have a resource list of articles\, books\, and organizations to help you gain a deeper understanding of the issues at hand.\nEngage in small and large group discussions as well as exploring ways to effect change and take action.\n\nRegistration\nRegistration is required.
