We are excited to announce our 6th Annual Gender Equity Conference for 2021! Please join us on November 11th in the Nebraska Union Auditorium for this day-long event. We plan to have multiple speakers present talks that cover a wide variety of topics related to gender equity and intersectionality. Other topics include leadership, diversity, advocacy, social justice, or community interest topics. This conference will be free of charge and include a continental breakfast and lunch.
The conference is intentionally designed to be accessible to those interested in attending. The sessions are broken down into 20- or 30- minute TED Talk-style presentations with breaks in between each session. This will allow for students, staff, and faculty members to attend sessions throughout the day in between meetings and classes, as well as allow for community guests to join when they are able to.
Some highlights of the conference include a panel discussion with faculty members from the College of Arts and Sciences on gender equity from a global perspective, as well as a talk from Dominique Morgan, the Executive Director of Black and Pink National, and a keynote address from State Senator Megan Hunt.
To register or submit a proposal, please visit go.unl.edu/GEC21. The deadline to submit proposals is October 25th, and the deadline to register is November 3rd.
