Hi All,
This is an invitation to you all to attend the fifth in our roundtable dialogues on SIGCHI and equity https://medium.com/sigchi/equity-talks-sigchi-7b38b8e3477. This session is on *Understanding Gender*, and is scheduled for *April 23rd at 12pm PST/ 9pm CEST/ 12:30am (on April 24th) IST* (and in your time zone https://www.starts-at.com/event/3143305106). Theresa Tanenbaum (VP of Publications) and Neha Kumar (VP at Large) will be hosting this session, and Cale Passmore will be moderating (see code of conduct https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_wHf99xbN1NUyVY7-sXq-489QR-OjDgfuA5ZL8p8FzE/edit). You can participate on Zoom https://acm-org.zoom.us/j/98391682157?pwd=TXIzV3pNNUd2eS82NGRINmRydGZ4UT09 and Sli.do https://app.sli.do/event/svupyoff. Here is the link from our events calendar https://sigchi.org/event/sigchi-equity-talks-5-understanding-gender/.
Our session, titled "Understanding Gender" will comprise a set of respected scholars from across the globe who have been active in advocating for more inclusive community practices and polices around gender and sexuality, and in contributing to scholarship around gender and sexuality. Together, we will unpack the past, present, and future of gender in SIGCHI. We will pay special attention to gendered discrimination (including sexism, cissexism, heterosexism, and transmisogony), values in prioritizing change, (e.g., intersectionality and global equity), and our visions for a more gender-inclusive SIGCHI.
The questions we hope to pose are as follows:
*Naming the Problem(s): *What would you say are the biggest challenges facing women, trans, nonbinary, gender expansive, and queer people in the SIGCHI community today?
*Fostering Solidarity: *What do you suggest as a strategy for creating a safer, more inclusive, global SIGCHI community for women, trans people, and others marginalized due to their gender identity?
*Identifying Nuance: *How can SIGCHI better support queer and trans members who have intersectional and multiply marginalized identities?
*Actions Towards Change: *Where does the responsibility for change lie, and who holds power to create a more gender and queer inclusive SIGCHI community? What actions can and should be taken to improve the situation.
You are all invited to participate (along with your friends). We will share video recordings (with SLI and captions) and summaries once the sessions are completed. We are also continuing the dialogue asynchronously via our SIGCHI Equity Talks Discord server. See links:
