When: Thursday, October 19th from 4:30pm – 6:30pm
Where: 4210 Talley Student Union (Student Involvement Suite)
Workshop Description: Traditional frameworks of leadership can often center on assimilative practices that are antithetical to social justice and identity development. During this session, participants will explore alternative approaches that deconstruct heteronormative leadership models in higher education. As a collective, we will critically analyze the art of queering as a form of resistance and transformation. We will also develop intersectional strategies that perpetuate sustainable forms of social change.
