Let’s Talk About . . .

Have you ever wondered why Taylor Swift and Beyoncé have more social media followers than current and past Presidents and thought leaders? Do you want to help the young people or adults in your community understand how and why their gender shapes their experiences in the classroom, athletic field, workplace, or home? Do you want to understand how the rise of social media has and continues to influence our girls’ sense of self and empowerment? As an invited speaker and seasoned educator of gender, culture, and media studies, Diane offers customized lectures and workshops on the relationship between gender, culture, and the media. These events can provide historical context of this relationship, consider how gender expression and identity is shaped by cultural markers and the media, and develop understanding about how we can empower ourselves to create inclusive, compassionate communities that allow all voices and identities to be heard and seen. Diane’s lecture style is both engaging and interactive, attending to all learning styles and offering an engaging, transformative experience for all.

Reach out and let’s discuss how I can help your community develop a deeper, more empathetic understanding of gender, culture, and the media.
