Wednesday, March 5th, 2025

1:30pm-3:30pm

Lincoln Residence Hall Great Room

Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.

We will provide an overview of key historical concepts, events, people, and trends that will provide insightful information, particularly for those unfamiliar with LGBTQ+ history. The workshop will cover five topics: 1) an introduction to key concepts and terms and a brief overview of pre-twentieth century history, 2) the homophile (pre-Stonewall) era, 3) the Stonewall Riots and lesbian and gay liberation in the 1970s, 4) the AIDS crisis, and 5) the transgender rights movement. In addition to these topics, attendees will be provided with resources for further learning.

Registration is required to attend.
