Talk it out.
The Emily Taylor Center for Women & Gender Equity at the University of Kansas is planning an open discussion on Thursday to talk about the results of this year’s presidential election “from a gendered perspective,” center director Kathy Rose-Mockry said.
“Let’s Talk About it: Gender and the Election Outcome” is set for noon to 1 p.m. Thursday in the Kansas Room at the Kansas Union.
The event is envisioned to be a “safe space” for processing the results of the 2016 presidential election.
“It’s important that people have opportunities to work through whatever is to come, because it’s been a unique election that’s really stirred up a lot of issues that need to be addressed,” Rose-Mockry said.
