Social work students: Join ‘Diversity Dialogue: A Conversation on Gender’ tonight

Sunday, November 11th, 2018

All social work students are invited to come hear how the predominating messages about gender in evangelical popular culture are negative and limiting, both for women and for men. In this semester’s diversity forum, Melanie Springer Mock, professor of English, considers the source of these messages about gender, and why they can be so damaging, especially to young people seeking their vocations.

Join us at the forum tonight (Monday) from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in Stevens 209.

Melanie believes that evangelical culture’s focus on gender, sex and “biblical manhood and womanhood,” often premised on a misguided interpretation of Scripture, makes it especially difficult for women and men to live in the freedom and grace Jesus offers them.

The diversity forum will provide ample space to consider Christian messaging about gender; to ask questions about what it means for women and men to be created in God’s image; and to think together about how we can create a different world where our lives are not defined by gender roles or even gender identity, but by our own unique callings and gifts.

Questions? Contact Kim Rapp (rappk@georgefox.edu).
