Women and Gender Equality Special Interest Group (SIG)
The Women & Gender Equality Special Interest Group's purpose is to provide a positive environment for women teachers (including women who are trans and gender non-binary, Korean nationals and Korean diaspora, and expat women of color) in Korea to discuss gender issues and to create a platform to educate teachers on gender issues in the Republic of Korea (ROK) and as global citizens. The SIG is open to all supporters of gender equality, or feminists, regardless of the gender of the supporter. The SIG works to provide quality content for the classroom, presentations and panel discussions for ELT teachers at all schools and levels of English study throughout the ROK. The SIG gathers research on techniques for classroom management, classroom activities and class design with a particular focus on gender equality or feminism, and/or informed by in-depth studies of women's issues - the social and economic implications of gender equality - within the curricula.
Currently our discussion group is for women (and people who identify as women) only as a safe space to share issues particular to women, and the larger group is for everyone. Persons interested in creating a men's discussion group, or for more information on any of the above, may reply to the contact information on this page.
Facilitators: Minji Kim & Rhea Metituk
