Monday, November 13, 2023
4:00 pm – 5:30 pm EST/GMT-5 Online Event
4 PM New York l 10 PM Vienna
This lecture, co-sponsored by AltLiberalArts and the Bard Queer Leadership Project at Simon's Rock, examines education issues in the context of recently passed laws in the US that ban the inclusion of LGBTQ+ issues in school curriculum and bar transgender students from school activities and facilities.
The session will explore how educators, families, and communities can help LGBTQ+ youth thrive even amid this wave of legislation that threatens their education, their well-being, and their very identities.
