Queer Voices: Universities as Catalysts for 2SLGBTQ+ Advocacy and Support

With attacks on the 2SLGBTQ+ community increasing worldwide, including in British Columbia and Canada, universities have become even more important for queer individuals. As places of education and dialogue, campuses often provide a welcoming and supportive environment for all students, including those in the 2SLGBTQ+ community, to embark on journeys of discovery, knowledge, belonging, and self-acceptance.

The event will explore the role of universities in promoting acceptance and support for the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Speakers will discuss the importance of inclusive policies, curriculum development, and support services for queer students, faculty, and staff. They will also explore the unique challenges faced by 2SLGBTQ+ folks in post-secondary education and share methods of creating inclusive campus environments.
