Usapang Gender and Society with Prof. Joyce Fungo

May nagbabalik! One of our favorite guests and professors, Doc Joyce Fungo joins us in this episode to discuss a very important yet sometimes misunderstood topic: Gender and Society.

Ano nga ba ang gender? And, why is it important to be discussed in public, especially in the classroom setting.

Doc Joyce enlightens us on this topic through the lens of philosophy and the academe. While, Russel, who is also teaching university students this subject, enlightens us through the lens of legislation and Lennon, as a Catholic priest, sheds a bit of light on what the Church says on women’s dignity and gender studies.

Ikaw, what do you think about gender and society? Tell us on the comments!
