DESCRIPTION:An evening with Caryl Rivers and Rosalind C. BarnettIn their 
 book\, The Truth About Girls and Boys Caryl Rivers and Rosalind C. Barne
 tt tackle a new\, troubling trend in the theorizing about gender: that t
 he learning styles\, brain development\, motivation\, cognitive and spat
 ial abilities\, and "natural" inclinations of boys and girls are so diff
 erent\, they require completely different styles of parenting and educat
 ion. Ignoring the science that challenges these claims\, those who&nbsp\
 ; promote such theories make millions\, frightening parents and educator
 s into enforcing old stereotypes and reviving unhealthy attitudes in the
  classroom.&nbsp\;Rivers and Barnett unmake the pseudoscientific rationa
 le for this argument\, stressing the individuality of each child and the
  uniqueness of his or her talents and desires. Educating parents\, teach
 ers\, and general readers in the true nature of the gender game\, Rivers
  and Barnett help future generations transform if not transcend the para
 meters of sexual difference.&nbsp\;\nCaryl Rivers and Rosalind C. Barnet
 t are widely praised for their analysis of women\, men\, and society.\nP
 re-registration for this event is strongly recommended.&nbsp\; Please re
