Then Come to the Fall 2013
Global Queer Research Group Meeting!
Everyone is Welcome!
Wednesday Oct 16th 4:30 to 5:30 Liu Institute for Global Issues University of British Columbia 2nd Floor Board Room
The Global Queer Research Group (GQRG) is a student-run group interested in thinking globally queer and queerly global, or those of you who are utterly confused by what each of these terms mean to our academic contexts and everyday lives.
The purpose of the GQRG is to connect scholars, activists, and community members around research and policy issues concerning lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex communities, both locally and globally.
Since its formation in 2011, our group has successfully attracted brilliant scholars and funding to spearhead the project of creating a space and resources for conducting queer studies research concerned with global issues, transnationalism, anti-colonial/imperialism and the politics of citizenship.
