DEDU and the ALISE Gender Issues SIG is cosponsoring another free webinar. The August 14 session (starting 1:30pm EDT) features Dr. Beth Brendler, Assistant Professor at the University of Missouri’s iSchool. This webinar will cover the construction of gender in our culture and how that construction is enabled by literature for children and adolescents. Our purpose is to increase awareness about the ways our gender socialization prevents us from recognizing messages that are presented to children in literature and to help attendees begin to interrogate the idea that current children’s and adolescent literature presents gender in a more inclusive way.
