JOIN US AT MOUNT PLEASANT COMMUNITY CENTER for “What is Gender” Speaker Series

Join us for a special event in support of my good friend, Dr. Jasper Heaton PhD. In Philosophy.

Speaker Bio: Jasper earned their PhD in Philosophy from the University of British Columbia. Jasper's research focuses on transgender rights, political polarization, and epistemic violence and resistance. Jasper teaches philosophy at UBC and Langara College, and has also taught at the University of London, UK. Jasper's writing has been published by Bloomsbury Publishing and the APA blog for women in philosophy, and their work has supported a USA Supreme Court case for trans rights.

“We're going to talk about oppression, resistance, and why everyone is a little bit trans”

Mount Pleasant Community Centre (Multipurpose Room 3)

4 - 6pm

Light refreshments provided

This is the first in a new ongoing series of events
Does Theory Help Us Get Free?
Oceans of ink have been spilled by academics writing about oppression and resistance. But does any of it actually help?

Whether you're a local or just visiting, come connect with like-minded individuals and learn about stuff! We host these Meetups to provide an opportunity to make new friends and connect with people in your community! Most importantly to connect in a meaningful way. Hopefully we can make Vancouver a more welcoming place for all.
Bring your best self and come get out of your comfort zone ;)

SAFETY RULES: This group is intended to be a safe, comfortable space to do group activities, and socialize with people. This is not a dating meetup group. Please do not hit on people (especially when they are new). Please only offer your number to people, don't ask for theirs. That way it's their choice if they would like to contact you.

We also do not tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia or other forms of discrimination as well. If you are uncomfortable and feel someone has broken these rules, please contact one of the organizers.

Do not RSVP unless you are 100% sure you are going. If you violate this and do not show up, the organizers will remove you from future events that we host.

We look forward to seeing you there!
