Bending Gender: Exploring Gender & Identity
Date & Time : 05th February 2026, 01.30pm to 3.00pm
Venue: Auditorium, MBA Block
For long, gender has been understood through a narrow binary framework that divides humanity into “male” and “female,” often treating these categories as fixed, natural, and exhaustive. Yet lived experiences across cultures and histories reveal that gender is far more diverse, fluid, and complex. "Unboxing Gender" invites you to question inherited assumptions and to move beyond simplified labels toward a deeper, more inclusive understanding of identity. It creates a reflective space where dialogue replaces judgment, curiosity replaces fear, and listening becomes a tool for learning. By engaging with personal narratives, literary and social theory, and contemporary conversations on the gender spectrum, we seek to unpack how gender norms and marginalisation shape opportunities and selfhood. We examine how gender intersects with class, caste, sexuality, disability, and culture, influencing how individuals experience belonging or exclusion. Unboxing Gender is not merely about redefining terms; it is about fostering empathy, critical awareness, and shared responsibility in building communities where all identities are respected, affirmed, and free to flourish.
