A queer research group (which will include a queer reading group) is being started up at the Lui Institute. I thought this may be of interest to some of you, so here are details about the first planning meeting, if you’re interested in getting involved. The pdf for this event can be downloaded here.
Global Queer Research Group
Planning Meeting
May 30th, 1-3pm
3rd Floor Board Room
The Liu Institute for Global Issues
The Global Queer Research Group (GQRG) is a new research group initiative based at the Liu Institute for Global Issues, UBC. The purpose of the GQRG is to connect scholars, activists, and community members around research and policy issues concerning lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer communities, both locally and globally. The GQRG is open to all graduate and undergraduate students.
Goals for this planning meeting:
1. Settle on topics and readings for a monthly reading group focusing on critical studies of sexuality.
2. Propose and organize events for the upcoming year (i.e. film screening, art shows, lectures, workshops, panels).
3. Organize a website and online network service.
