Part 1: “What is the Distance from Venus to Mars?”
This first part of a three-part series will look at the gendered ways we think and act. Using poems, color slides, video clips, diaries, letters, and additional resources, the multi-disciplinary panel will investigate how females and males acquire and use language, what the relationship is between the verbal and the visual (when it comes to the sexes), how men and women read texts, and how they differ in their teaching styles. Is there such a thing as a truly “female” response to the world, or artistic approach? Where do biology and ideology, body and culture, intersect? The panelists will explore these and other important and thought-provoking questions as they consider the structural, psychological, and social foundations of gender dichotomies—and travel the space (both real and imagined) between Venus and Mars. Panelists: Dr. Irit Gat, Mark Hoffer, Charles Hood, Susannah LeBaron, and Dr. Matthew Rainbow
