Body Parts

The 2013 Gensler Family Symposium on Feminism in a Global Context

April 8-12, 2013

The 2013 symposium is designed to think through how particular body parts come to stand in for gender and sex identities.  We hope the symposium will be a forum for feminist interventions into the belief that the body is the originary site of identity formation. The events will disrupt the  “commonsensical” belief that we are our body parts.

This year’s events were organized by Kristin Bright, Laurie Essig and Sujata Moorti
