Conversations about identity can be particularly challenging when they intersect with biology, culture (including faith), and lived experience. In the current social and political moment, many people are seeking a richer understanding of sex and gender, drawing on insights from current science and from other ways of knowing. How do these concepts overlap, and how are they different? How have ideas about sex and gender changed over time, and why? How can (or should) society respond?
We invite you to join the AAAS-DoSER program for a conversation about sex, gender and identity. Together we will consider scientific perspectives on these concepts as they relate to humans and other organisms – AND share ideas about fostering constructive conversations about sex, gender and identity in religious spaces, recognizing the challenges and opportunities of the current moment.
The event is free and open to the public, both in-person (AAAS Headquarters, COVID guidelines permitting) and streamed online, but pre-registration is required. The 90-minute event will include a round of short reflections from panelists, a moderated discussion, and Q&A with the audience. It will be followed by a reception for in-person attendees.
