Title: Exploring Queerness Outside of the Western Gaze

Date and Time: Monday, March 28 ^th from 2-3 pm  

Location: Zoom Webinars

Facilitated by Rabia Choudhary (she/her/they/them) and Nana-yaa Owusu (she/her/they/them)

This workshop is geared at exploring queer history and identities from around the world, both in pre-colonial and post-colonial contexts. This session will explore the ways in which colonization has impacted and erased queer communities from “Western” history, as well as enforced a heteronormative society on cultures across the globe. The facilitators will present with a trauma-informed, anti-carceral, anti-white supremacy, anti-ableism, and survivor-centric lens.  

Participants are invited to challenge their own biases, beliefs, and experiences to further understand the impact of colonization in the framework of our lives, ways of thinking and belief systems.  

RSVP on ExperienceBU for the Zoom Link. Attendees can win a $50 SkipTheDishes gift card!  

Brock Students can receive co-curricular credit in the CWC for attending this workshop. This workshop will be closed captioned. Please contact mmudge@brocku.ca for more information and/ or accessibility requirements.

Title: The Trans Agenda: Increasing Visibility in Academia

Date and Time: Thursday, March 31st from 12PM-1PM

Location: Zoom Webinars

Facilitated by Jasper Fisher

This talk will explore the intersections between being an academic and being transgender. Despite the fact that academia has become tightly intertwined with gender politics, and that transgender and gender diverse people have long been the subjects of academic research, transgender people are typically excluded from participating in higher education. Throughout this hour, we will discuss what it is like being a transgender person in higher academia, transitioning through a degree, and how academia is navigated by trans, nonbinary, and gender diverse people.

This event is open to everyone, including community members.
