The University at Buffalo Institute for Research and Education on Women and Gender (IREWG) presents its fifth annual “Gender Week: Gender Matters @ UB V” a series of lectures, exhibits, films, open classes, and performances, all focusing on gender-inclusive and sex-specific research and teaching. This year, Gender Week will take place during the week of October 9th-13th. Check back regularly for continual updates of times/dates/locations of our events and speakers. Our 2006 keynoter is Judith Heumann, an internationally recognised leader in the disability community and a lifelong civil rights advocate for people with disabilities. Ms. Heumann is Lead Consultant to the World Bank Global Partnership on Development and Disability, and former Assistant Secretary of Education under President Clinton. In addition to the keynote address, "Gender, Disability and Development: A Global Perspective," Ms. Heumann will be holding a round table on "Progress in Disability Research" with the many units at UB involved in universal design, cultural competency, therapies and adaptive technology, and will meet with teachers and students at Buffalo Public School 84. School 84 is unique as a public school that draws students with disabilties from all of Erie County and has facilities for K-12 academic and functional programs for students ages 5 through 21. Gender Week will also feature a talk from renowned journalist Amy Goodman, host of radio's "Democracy Now!", as part of the Department of Media Study's "Forum on Torture." Also, join the Gender Institute and the Baldy Center for Law & Social Policy in conversation with Eyal Press, journalist and author of Absolute Convictions: My Father, A City and the Conflict that Divided America, a book about the abortion culture wars and Press' father, a Buffalo gynecologist.
