5th Annual Rainbow Reunion, Hosted by ICU Center for Gender Studies

CGS (Center for Gender Studies, International Christian University) was established in April 2004 as an alternative communication space open to all persons with an interest in gender and sexuality research.

Over the past ten plus years, CGS has held countless events that cross the borders between academia and activism. Many people interested in the various issues surrounding gender and sexuality have gathered here, regardless of their affiliation with the university, creating and expanding ties among a wide range of people.

With that said, CGS is proud to announce we will host the 4th Annual Alumni Reunion, dubbed “Rainbow Reunion,” on this coming June 15th (Sat.), 2019 at the Alumni House in ICU.

For those who learned about gender and sexuality while studying at ICU, and for those who were not able to…

For those who have someone close by to talk about sexuality, the body, identity, etc., and for those who do not…

For those who attended CGS events frequently, and for those who will attend for the first time…

We hope this event will become a space where new ties are created, where we can casually discuss what has transpired until now and what is happening at present.

We look forward to your participation in this event!
