KALAMAZOO--A visiting scholar will take up the question of when and how children know they are male or female when she speaks next month at Western Michigan University.

Dr. Anne Fausto-Sterling will speak at 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 1, in Kirsch Auditorium of the Fetzer Center. Her presentation is titled "How Does a Child 'Know' It is Male or Female: From Pre-symbolic to Symbolic Embodiment." Her talk will be followed by a question-and-answer session and reception.
