Events offered by The Women's and Gender Studies Program

The Women's and Gender Studies Program sponsors various events each semester for students, faculty and staff, and the larger community. We bring nationally-prominent feminist speakers to campus, we host informal gatherings, and we offer field trips to events in other communities.

A current list of programs offered this semester is included below, along with an archive of past events. Note that events are listed in reverse chronological order, so scroll down!

I Am Beautiful

College of Charleston campus | Thursday, January 18, 7:15 p.m. | Arnold Hall in the Jewish Studies Building | Free and open to the public



Woody Winfree's mission is simple: to create a world in which every woman and girl can proudly proclaim, "I Am Beautiful!"

How do we redefine feminine beauty to make it more inclusive? How do we combat the damaging media messages and distorted cultural ideals about women and beauty? How do we show our daughters, sisters, friends, mothers and grandmothers the power in naming their own beauty?

Self-acceptance is the first step.
That is what the I Am Beautiful Project is all about: self-esteem through
self-discovery.
