Study Group on Beyond Gender Roles
In this session of the Study Group on Beyond Gender Roles, due to the small number of participants, we met at a library and spent time reading related books borrowed there. While doing so, we reviewed the reference texts that have been covered so far and discussed the selection of reference materials to be used in future sessions.
<今までの振り返り>
Participants confirmed that many of the authors of texts previously discussed in the group were women. Based on this observation, there was a suggestion that the group should also engage with perspectives on feminism as seen from men, and explore texts that address feminism from male viewpoints.
