The Viterbo community is invited to attend two Identities Project events this week.

“Men in Nursing and Women in STEM: The Gender Binary in Professional Settings” will be held from 7–8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 25 in the School of Nursing Building 196. Have you ever heard that nursing is a “women’s job” or that technology jobs are “better suited” for men? Join the panel as they explore what the gender binary means to them, as well as share their experiences working in traditionally gendered careers.

“Identity and the Media: Discovery or Distortion?” will be held from 3:30–5 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 26 in the School of Nursing Building 101. Where are you getting your information? Are you able to identify bias in reporting? Examine a current news story through the lens of multiple news outlets to see which identities are pulled out, and the stories that are formed as a result.
