Eli Taxacher
Description
Gender often appears to be obvious, natural, and clearly defined — something everyone already understands. Yet when we look more closely, even the most basic assumptions begin to unravel. This talk introduces current scientific perspectives on sex and gender and also explores why discussions on gender often become emotional or political.
A talk for curious minds who enjoy questioning what seems obvious.
Eli Taxacher studied sociology (Graz, Örebro/Sweden), international gender research and feminist politics (Vienna), works in the field of coaching, facilitation and process support, and in adult education as coordinator and course manager of the GenderWerkstätte at Verein Frauenservice Graz.
