While persisting social inequalities have always presented challenges for educators, recent rising criticisms of research and the scientific process have made teaching these topics in accurate and meaningful ways difficult. This talk introduces the importance of gender, sex, and sexuality before discussing four barriers to using these identities in the classroom. How educators can transform these barriers into facilitators of critical thought, social constructions, sociopolitical critique, and methodological evaluation will be outlined. This presentation is designed to accommodate participants with limited knowledge of identities as well as those with advanced knowledge.

This is an elective session for a certificate of completion in Teaching Towards Inclusive Excellence.
