The Women’s Center offers a variety of workshops by request. Please give a two-week lead time.
The Body Image Basics workshop provides definitions of body image types, discusses what society tells us is the “ideal” body, and introduces participants to body attitudes on issues such as body positivity, body neutrality, and body acceptance, among other topics. Participants will leave the workshop with a more nuanced understanding of body image in today’s society and, we hope, a willingness to challenge internalized fatphobia.
The History of Women at Vanderbilt presentation explores women’s experiences at Vanderbilt from the university’s nineteenth-century beginnings to the present day. It considers both the inclusion women enjoyed and the exclusion they faced as students, faculty, and staff at Vanderbilt, which only began to admit women and men undergraduates in equal numbers in the 1980s.
Let’s Talk About Sex, Vandy is a customizable, interactive sex-ed 101 workshop that uses a holistic approach to provide information on sex myths and facts, anatomy, contraceptives, STI prevention and stigma, and consent. This workshop is useful for people who have had no prior sex education and for people who have taken sex education classes before.
The Salary Negotiation Workshop provides an overview of the process of negotiating a salary and benefits package. Attendees will learn how to prepare for negotiation through research, practice ways to respond to salary- and negotiation-related questions, and identify factors to consider when negotiating a job offer. Please note that this workshop requires 75 minutes.
