Lecture Title: 

The Healthy Dialogue Series welcomes Doriane Lambelet Coleman, author of On Sex and Gender: A Commonsense Approach. In a climate that reduces conversations about sex and gender to choosing a side, Coleman challenges both sides to chart a better way. Her book focuses on three questions: What is sex as opposed to gender? How does sex matter in our everyday lives? And how should it be reflected in law and policy?

Coleman is a professor at Duke Law School, where she specializes in interdisciplinary scholarship focused on women, sports, children, and law. At Duke, she is on the advisory council of the Kenan Institute for Ethics; a faculty associate of the Trent Center for Bioethics, Humanities, and History of Medicine; a member of the Athletic Council; and codirector of the Center for Sports Law and Policy. She received a Juris Doctor from Georgetown Law and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Cornell University. A former collegiate and senior national champion, she ran the 800 meters for Cornell and Villanova, the Swiss and US national teams, Athletics West, the Santa Monica Track Club, the Atoms Track Club, and Lausanne Sports.

The Healthy Dialogue Series is a collaboration between the Office of the Provost and The Sexuality Series. It reflects Calvin’s commitments to engage challenging conversations with humility, love, charity, and respect, eager to learn with and from each other. It reflects our commitment to understanding better, before we seek to be understood, as well as the vulnerability necessary to listen well and engage with those who perspectives may differ from our own.
