Creating inclusive, supportive, positive spaces for 2SLGBTQ+ staff, faculty, and students on campus requires intentional work. In this session, participants will increase their awareness about the lives and experiences of 2SLGBTQ+ persons.


By the end of this session, participants will be able to:


    

  • define common terms related to assigned sex, gender and sexual orientation
    • 

  • explain different forms of discrimination, including homophobia, heteronormativity, transphobia, cisnormativity, and bi-erasure
    • 

  • identify relevant resources and policies on campus addressing discrimination
    • 

  • discuss tangible ways to create a more positive campus community
    • 



This workshop is facilitated by Wil Prakash Fujarczuk (He/Him), coordinator, sexual violence prevention education, Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Office.
