Thank you for making this month’s First Friday (and the admin meeting before that) another successful evening for The Network!
In the next few days, you will start to notice some changes on the website – our admin meeting on Friday was very productive and we’re going to be working to make some changes in the next little while. I will let you know all about it once a few key changes have been made; for now, I would like to at direct you to our new Feedback page.
First, I wanted to let you know about a queer-related event happening on Monday. Please read the message below and consider attending if you are interested.

This is just an email reminder for the next Global LGBTQ meeting next month. We hope to cover and expand upon the ideas brought out of the “Does it get better?” forum last January and start planning activities and research initiatives in and around the UBC campus. Here are just some of the few topics we covered last meeting and hope to talk about in our next meeting:
1) Connecting global and local contexts and responses to homophobic and transphobic violence.
2) Connecting LGBTQ scholars and those who are interested in queer and lgbtq research and issues at UBC.
3) Planning future events on homonationalism, homophobic violence, discrimination within lgbtq communities and queer acts of resistance and healing.
4) Creating a research network at the Liu Institute for queer scholars and research.
The next meeting will be:
Monday, March 7th
10:00-13:00
Liu Institute, 3rd Floor Board room
Please share this to your friends and colleagues. The more the merrier!
