Co-Facilitators: Dr. Lisa Robinson, Ph.D. (she/her/hers) and Dr. Danielle Bacibianco (she/hers) 

In Workshop #1 "The ABC’s of LGBTQ+ Inclusion: Pedagogy, Act Up," we will go over lingo, terminology, history, and current events to better understand the ins and outs of how queer language shifts, changes, and is still evolving even as each semester begins. Once that solid base has been created, we will create a community environment where we can discuss previous attempts to include LGBTQ+ issues, to workshop what worked and what did not, and to envision a safe space where all questions are welcome. 

NOTE: Participation in Workshop #1 is not required for participation in Workshop #2 (but we hope that all will attend both!).  

This workshop series is organized by the SJC Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) Interdisciplinary Minor program, in allyship with the SJU LGBTQ Center, and supported by an Inclusive Teaching Fellows Grant from the Academic Center for Equity and Inclusion (ACEI).
