This 75-minute webinar is focused on how college staff and administrators can best support current and emerging gender-expansive leaders. Gender expansive leadership refers to approaches and practices that identify and challenge traditional gender norms and binaries and advance greater inclusivity of diverse gender identities and expressions. This interactive webinar will help you to understand some of the nuances and decision-making points to consider as you work to hire and retain gender-expansive employees and support them on a daily basis. We will share personal stories that embody some of the challenges of navigating an unpredictable world when it comes to gender inclusiveness. Ultimately, we will explore some of the ways in which unconscious bias about gender is culturally and psychologically reproduced, discuss how we can work to deconstruct and reconstruct those frameworks, and share ideas about creating an inclusive campus culture that celebrates the diverse ways in which gender is embodied and performed.
