Beyond Rainbows: The Legacy & Future of LGBTQ Inclusion on Campus
The 10th GLBTKC Institute examines the LGBTQ movement, its influence on higher education & how it shaped the rights, cultures, and relationships of students & professionals through a global perspective. Through interactive activities, participants will gain a deeper understanding of their identities and the LGBTQ community. The day will progress to discussions around your host campus and gaining skills to assess and address issues in creating change and inclusion. By learning our multiple histories and sharing resources, participants will leave with skills to inspire action.Sunday, March 7 - 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Relationship to the Conference Theme:
Only by understanding where we have come from and living the legacy created by the founders of the LGBTQQA movement can we aid in the continuation of the movement. Understanding that we no longer exist in isolation, how history has shaped our community, terminology that changes often, and the complexities of our identities, will enhanve our own worldliness and development. Thus, we will be better equipped to foster critical thinking in our students as they enter the global community. Gaining a better knowledge of the generational differences in the use of language and labels, intersecting identities, media representation of LGBTQ characters, and the challenges and benefits of being queer at work can all empower us and our students to truly invest in the legacy and the continuation of the LGBTQ movement towards equality for everyone.
