Taboo Talks programming aims to create well-rounded and informed discussions on relevant socially charged topics. The program targets all students who wish to increase their social consciousness, and wish to say abreast hot topics. Professor Betsy Lucal teaches sociology and women's & gender studies, with a focus on first-year studies, at Indiana University South Bend. She is a former deputy editor for Gender & Society and currently edits the gender & sexuality section of Sociology Compass. Lucal has been working in the area of scholarship of teaching and learning for three decades and is the recipient of multiple campus, university, and national teaching awards. Lucal studies the experiences of individuals whose gender and sexual identities fall outside the norm. Lucal studies the experiences of college students, particularly those of first-year and first-generation status as well as other traditionally underrepresented groups.
