As part of its year-round lecture series, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton presents a thought-provoking exploration of the historical and contemporary dimensions of gender and sexuality in the United States, with a particular focus on Florida. This lecture traces the evolution of public discourse, legal frameworks, and social attitudes—from the early struggles for women’s suffrage to the landmark developments in same-sex marriage, and the ongoing debates surrounding transgender rights. Through a multidisciplinary lens, participants will examine how law, policy, and public opinion have shifted over time, and consider the broader implications of these changes for civic life, civil rights, and social identity in the modern era.
