Workshops

Workshops & Presentations

The Women’s Center offers workshops and presentations by request on a variety of topics, sometimes in collaboration with other campus departments or organizations.

Topics

The ABCs of LGBTQ+

This session examines “queer” as a theory, politics, and identity, while also providing explanations of each identity within the LGBTQ+ spectrum. The goal is to foster understanding, promote inclusivity, and clarify essential terminology related to queer experiences and identities.

Body Image

This session explores the relationship between health, wellness, and how we perceive and care for our bodies. It promotes positive body image, challenges the thin ideal often linked to feminine beauty norms, and introduces concepts from the field of Fat Studies.

Redefining Masculinity

This session explores concepts related to masculinity, including “toxic masculinity” versus “healthy masculinity” and “patriarchal masculinity” versus “feminist masculinity.”

Trans Sex Ed

This session on transgender-specific sex education includes discussion of gender-affirming hormone therapy, body changes, pregnancy prevention, STI risk reduction, and consent. Participants learn about how to maintain a healthy sex life, whether they are trans, cisgender with a trans partner, or an ally. Offered in collaboration with Ramapo’s Health Educator.
