Lecture: Raising Kids in a (Non)Binary World

Activity: Talk or presentationInvited talk

Description

Guest lecture for Strozier Lecture Series:

Gender is at the center of important cultural shifts right now. This includes growing awareness of transgender persons, as well as nonbinary gender possibilities. Parents prove key agents in this gender revolution, challenging traditional gender norms at their roots. In this talk, Dr. Elizabeth Rahilly will discuss her new book on parents who support transgender kids, Trans-Affirmative Parenting (NYU Press), as well as her current research on “gender-open parenting”: these parents do not disclose the birth sex of their children, and use they/them pronouns until the child expresses their own identity. In a world with rapidly evolving understandings of gender, Dr. Rahilly illuminates significant new patterns in childhood socialization.
