This group is for language teachers who identify as LGBTQIA+ to have a brave space for thoughtful discussions related to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual (LGBTQIA+) issues. As a collaborative group, we will construct and structure this space together to foster, support, and sustain collective agency and thoughtful collaboration. We are going to work with our participants to build out the description in order to give them agency and a stake in the group/community. While we appreciate the constant support and love of our allies, at this time the LGBTQIA+ Affinity group is for those who identify within the community.
This group will meet on the following dates, once a month from January - June 2024.
