Queer & Trans 101
The Queer & Trans 101 Seminar is an introduction to LGBTQ terminology and definitions. It seeks to build empathy to better support the LGBTQ campus community. Participants will learn the power and importance of language especially the importance of pronouns for transgender and gender non-conforming people. By the end of this seminar participants will have practical tools to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for the LGBTQ campus community.
Trans 101
The Transgender 101 Seminar is an interactive introduction to the social construction of gender and will cover the spectrum of gender identities under the transgender umbrella. This seminar should be taken after the Queer & Trans 101 Seminar. This seminar covers fundamental information about gender identity, gender expression, and sex with an intersectional lens. It will highlight the importance of language and provide the opportunity to practice pronoun usage. It will begin the conversation about what it means to be transgender, and how students, faculty, and staff can be active advocates in combating transphobia at UCSB and beyond.
UndocuQueer & UndocuTrans
The UndocuQueer and UndocuTrans Seminar is an overview of experiences of queer and trans undocumented people. Attendees will also learn about the resources on and off campus to support undocuqueer and undocutrans students. Representatives from Undocumented Student Services will be co-facilitating this seminar.
