Join the University of Michigan Spectrum Center for a roundtable of scholars and practitioners to discuss how to support and serve queer and trans students in U.S. higher education at this time of our nation’s history. As the policy landscape shifts rapidly and higher education institutions move to shutter gender and sexuality centers and end critical programs and services, queer and trans students persist on our campuses. What does current scholarship indicate these students need to survive or thrive? What are centers and programs that still exist doing to preserve knowledge of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities and continue to support these populations? How can we bridge theory and praxis to center QT communities and encourage people of all genders and sexualities to work for more just and welcoming campuses? Our panelists, Dr. Kris Renn, Dr. Antonio Duran, and Dr. Kristopher Oliveira, represent innovative and student-centered scholarship and praxis. We encourage researchers, scholar-practitioners, and graduate students from U-M and beyond to be a part of this important conversation.
