Working Identity and Identities at Work will be the topic of the First Friday Forum, Oct. 14, noon-1p.m. in the Bldg. 240 TCS conference center, Room 1416. The forum will be co-hosted by Women in Science and Technology and Spectrum.
Focusing on how communication about our identities shapes organizational culture, Jason Zingsheim, associate professor of communication and coordinator of gender and sexuality studies at Governors State University, will discuss his research which analyzes the different ways people communicate their gender and sexual identities.
Zingsheim also will facilitate a conversation on the ever-changing glossary of terms related to gender and sexual identity, providing insight into some of the current issues facing LGBTQ individuals working to create and support a more diverse, inclusive and productive environment.
