Lena Chen

is a reluctant sexpert, a feminist and queer advocate, and a walking case study on bad publicity. As a Harvard undergrad, she authored the blog Sex and the Ivy about her college sexcapades and misadventures. Her reputation has never quite recovered.

So, I’m feverish with a sore throat and not going to class today. But I’m crossing my fingers that I get better in time for this Friday’s first-ever Undergraduate Gender Research Symposium. I’ll be presenting my thesis alongside other undergraduate scholars who have done interdisciplinary work related to gender and sexuality. Here’s the line-up: Panel 1: Gender and Sexual Identities: Interdisciplinary Perspectives— Kristen Jones: Psychological Perspectives on Gender Identities and Roles— Sam Meier: Sociological and Medical Perspectives on Transgender Identities— Richard Kelley: Oral Narratives of Coming Out among LGBT Youth— Tamar Holoshitz: The Linguistic Structure of Sexual AssaultPanel 2: Gender and the Social Environment: Contexts and Experiences— Catherine Humphreville: Gender and Hardcore Punk— Lena Chen: The Social Transformation of Sexual Norms in America— Jenny Zhang : The Moral Experience of Childbearing in Rural China— Rashmi Jasrasaria: Microfinance and Women’s Empowerment in Tanzania Dinner is being served in between the two panels. You can RSVP to the Facebook event here. Hope to see some of you there!
