On October 16th, Trinity Western University’s Gender Studies Institute (GSI) is hosting a day-long symposium entitled, "Gender, Religion and the Third Wave." As part of the symposium, a free public lecture will be held from 12:15pm until 2:00pm. The keynote lecture, reflecting on the trajectory of research in the field over the past 40 years, will be followed by two scholarly responses and a question period.  

The GSI was established in 2007 to facilitate critical engagement of leading gender scholarship and to develop profound conversations and collaborations with other academics in the field. The institute fosters interdisciplinary teaching, intellectual dialogue, research, and collaboration in all areas of gender studies. The interdisciplinary nature of the institute will enable TWU scholars to collaboratively address gender issues that come out of every discipline to train leaders who will enjoy and foster restorative gendered relationships.
