Event Program

During the first day of the Gender Expansive Live Streaming Symposium we will convene ten guest experts with a select group of researchers and practitioners in a comfy workshop environment for lively discourse around the topic. On the second day, we will hold a public conference featuring a series of keynotes, panels, and lightning talks given by the workshop participants.

The schedule for the symposium is outlined below. On the first day, invited workshop participants will gather in the Alumnae House Conference Room.
