UFS Dean critical voice on gender and sexuality education in schools
2012-09-03

Prof. Dennis Francis, Dean of our Faculty of Education, will deliver a keynote address on gender, sexuality and homophobia in schools at two events this month.

The Gay and Lesbian Memory in Action (GALA) and the Centre for Education Rights and Transformation invited him to the first ever Colloquium on Homophobia and Trans-phobia in South African schools.

This takes place at the University of Johannesburg on 6 and 7 September 2012.

The Colloquium provides an opportunity for educators, researchers, activists and policy makers to discuss the impact of homophobia and trans-phobia in education.

Prof. Francis has already done extensive research on this issue and is considered a critical voice on the issue in South Africa.

Later this month, Prof. Francis will travel to Malaysia where he will present a keynote address on gender and education.
