Gender Inclusivity in Menstrual and Reproductive Health
Monday, March 6, noon-2 p.m. Virtual — Zoom
The Intercultural Center invites you to a discussion on gender inclusivity in menstrual and reproductive health. Reproductive and menstrual health care services are accessed by people of all gender identities; however, this is not always represented in the field or school curriculums. This discussion will provide important information for students and professionals at UMB looking to provide gender-affirming health care services.

Finding Your Confidence (And Not Letting the Brushback Pitch Take You Out of the Game)
March 7, 11:30 a.m., SMC Campus Center, Room Elm 210 B
In honor of Women's History Month, the Intercultural Center and UMBrella invite you to a powerful conversation on finding your confidence presented by Kerri Phillips, PhD, MSE, senior engineer at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory.
Traditional resumes highlight accomplishments but conceal the setbacks that occurred along the way. As a result, the resumes of our role models can often be intimidating, and similar success may seem unattainable, especially at moments of failure. When you consider additional social and cultural complexities, such as those often experienced by women in male-dominated career fields, it can be hard to find your confidence. Phillips will discuss her path to learning to cultivate confidence, the social phenomena that affected that journey, and strategies to grow your confidence.
Lunch will be provided starting at 11:30 a.m. followed by the presentation from noon to 1 p.m.

The Table Dialogue: Intersectional Feminism
March 15, noon. Virtual — Zoom
Intersectional feminism arose in response to the dominant form of feminism in the 20th century that only centered the experiences of middle- and upper-class white women. Intersectional feminism includes the voices of those experiencing overlapping, concurrent forms of oppression in order to understand inequities in society. In this dialogue, we will unpack intersectional feminism and connect it to our studies and practice at UMB.
"The Table" is a monthly dialogue series where UMB students, staff, and faculty are invited to discuss current issues and unpack questions regarding race, ethnicity, culture, and norms.
