Intro to Queer Allyship
Tuesday, May 16, 2023 , 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm CDT
LGBTQIA2S+ youth, including college students, are among the most at-risk groups for mental health challenges, housing and food insecurity, and domestic violence, because of the ways in which society’s support systems fail to see and value them. Formerly referred called Safe Zone, Intro to Queer Allyship is a knowledge-level workshop focusing on using terminology appropriately, understanding the relationship between sex, gender, and sexuality, and finding the resources available to support Queer Redbirds (faculty, staff, and students) at Illinois State University. This experience is tailored to faculty, staff, and graduate assistants, with either teaching responsibilities or other student-facing roles, particularly in Academic Affairs. Registration is required.
Participants are invited to bring their own lunch to this two-hour workshop. Note: this is the same content as presented in Safe Zone from Fall 2021 through Fall 2022.
There is no stipend for this event.
This workshop falls under the AAC&U High-Impact Educational Practice of Diversity.
