How to talk about gender and sexuality without division
It’s safe to say gender and sexuality are two of the most divisive issues being discussed online and in the public square. So how do we stop yelling and start talking? A faculty member in the social contexts of education at the University of Lethbridge, Brent Saccucci, tried to answer that question in a recent talk at the Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs or SACPA. While there’s a lot of talk about social justice, Saccucci says it’s more important to view the discussion as social change, where we talk across the divide.
Saccucci says it’s simply about having a willingness to listen and learn. And if you don’t get the answers you want ask more questions.
