Women's Day 2001 California State University, Bakersfield hosts Women's Day 2001 March 1 and 2. The implications of gender variance for understanding the on-going transformation of gender in North America will also be addressed. Bolin studies sports ethnography and bodybuilding, gender and the body, human sexuality, and gender variance. Most recently, she co-authored an anthropology of human sexuality textbook with Patricia Whelehan, Perspectives on Human Sexuality. The program will examine feminine ideals of beauty from 1989 to the millennium expressed in bodybuilding, fitness pageants, and fashion magazines.
All events are open to the public free of charge.
Women's Day is co-sponsored by Associated Students Inc., CSUB Women's Network, the Women's Studies Program Committee, and the Women's Faculty Network.
