🧠Lecture: "Gender, Fiction, and What We Say with the Stories We Tell"
🎤 Speaker: PhD Candidate, Alexandra Stamson
Join us for a thought-provoking evening as philosopher and public scholar Alexandra Stamson examines how the stories we tell shape who we are, who we can be, and who we think we ought to be.
Fiction—on the screen or on the page—does more than entertain; it offers blueprints of possibility. Alexandra will explore how depictions of gender and identity in film, television, and literature influence our shared social imagination, for better and for worse. Drawing on feminist epistemology and philosophy of media, she will show how fictional narratives help us understand ourselves and others, and how they can either reinforce harmful norms or inspire social change.
Alexandra Stamson is a lecturer and PhD candidate in Philosophy at the University of Connecticut, a lecturer at SUNY Purchase, and a resident lecturer at Lectures on Tap in NYC. With advanced degrees in philosophy and gender studies, her work focuses on understanding, identity, and how media representations shape our social world.
