Hey everyone!
This is going to be an annoyingly long post, but just scan through to check out some really cool events that are happening on campus soon!
Today, March 28th: Rethink Pink T-Shirt and Bake Sale- “Stop by the UC anywhere from 11am-2pm or 5pm-7pm to purchase delicious baked goods and/or our cute, specially made t-shirts! Cash and Express accepted. All proceeds will benefit the EIF Women's Cancer Fund. We will also have information concerning consumer awareness of "pink ribbon" products and the amazing support group Students of AMF (Ailing Mothers and Fathers).” http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=10121357444
Sunday, March 30th: Sex Worker Rights Activist Jill Brenneman- “Jill Brenneman is a sex workers rights activist, sexual assault crisis counselor, and program coordinator for the Sex Workers Outreach Project East. She believes that sex workers should have equal access to the legal and health protections afforded to workers in other industries. Her vision of social change is about a world where people can choose their lives, choose what they do with their bodies, be able to freely express their thoughts and beliefs and be respected and honored for it so long as they aren't bringing harm to others or imposing their views on others.” The event is at 5 pm in Washington 201. Constance has also written a wonderful Editorial in today’s Flat Hat about this in response to the Sex Workers’ Art Show. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=12154002212

Same time and place!” They are from 7pm-8:30pm in Fitwell Studio in WM Hall. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=27351015187

Tentative Schedule: 11:00 - Meet and greet 1:30 - Keynote address from Dr. Carolyn Whittenburg 1:40 - Panel discussion Guest speaker Dr. Carolyn Whittenburg will be enlightening us on the history of women at the College of William and Mary. Having graduated from the School of Education, she completed her doctorate in 2003. Dr. Whittenburg's dissertation research covered the first female faculty at the College, as well as early women alumnae who proceeded to teach at William and Mary. Currently, Dr. Whittenburg is the Director of the National Institute of American History and Democracy.” All of this is taking place in the Wren Courtyard. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=8782683077
Wednesday, April 9th: GenderBending Day- We are asking that WM students cross-dress or genderbend on Wednesday, April 9th. During the day we will have a table at the UC where we will be doing make up for those that want it. This is includes drag makeup and facial hair makeup! In the evening, there will be a forum in Washington 201 from 6-9pm to discuss the issues of sex and gender. The forum will include Dr. Camilla Buchanan, a local OBGYN, and WM students discussing the impact of gender in everyday lives. It will also include fun demonstrations and activities. We have chosen to do this because a strict gender binary and the idea that gender should correspond with sex is alienating to those who do not identify as the gender associated with their sex, those who do not always identify with only one gender, and those whose sex category is ambiguous at birth. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=9823824078
Friday, April 11th: I Don’t have a F*ckin’ Clue, A Sexfest at William and Mary- “A campus-wide event meant to promote sexual openness on campus. Our event, which will be held either on the day of April 11 or April 18, will consist of a series of booths that will provide information on a variety of topics and will encourage students to talk openly about sex/sexuality issues that they may not feel comfortable discussing in other spaces. The booths will be arranged in an outdoor, public area on campus. We have also created a blog for the WM community to submit questions, etc. concerning sex. Essentially, the event is meant to promote sex-positive perspectives among the WM community. Booth Menu-Everything Butt: Anal Sex; BDSM: Safe, Fun, and Sexy; Party of One: Sex Toys and Masturbation; Chastity's Fun Too!; Location, Location, Location: Sex Outside the Bedroom”
Wow, that was a lot… Anyways they all have Facebook Events which are linked above, I encourage everyone to check them out!
Have a Great Weekend!
