Using a relational, Winnicottian model, Dr. Diane Ehrensaft will invite you to unlearn and then re-learn gender as they may have been taught. You will investigate a new model in which children’s gender evolves from both within them and between them and their caregiving and social environment.

Applying Dr. Ehrensaft’s model of the gender web, in which each child’s unique gender is an interweaving of nature, nurture, and gender, focus will be on the evolution across time of a child’s true gender self, one that can either be stable from early life on or shift over the course of development.
