Want to better appreciate Greta Gerwig’s highbrow screenwriting, or been wanting to read some philosophy but need a bubblegum pink excuse? Join philosopher <a href="https://philpeople.org/profiles/ryan-miller">Ryan Miller</a> for eleven weeks as we read and discuss classic philosophical texts in conjunction with brief scenes from Barbie.

'Is that a mirror in your pocket?'

Does gender reflect biological sex, or stand on its own? If gender is a performance, is it one we can choose? When Barbie and Ken enter the Real World, they must confront these urgent social questions. We will do so by reading and discussing chapter 3 of Judith Butler’s Bodies that Matter, the sequel to their famed Gender Trouble.
<ul>
 	<li>Is gender just a reflection of sex, or something else?</li>
 	<li>If gender is a performance, is it one we can choose?</li>
 	<li>What do bodies have do with anything?</li>
</ul>
