Creating Inclusive Classrooms
Faculty, do LGBTQA students feel welcome in your classroom?
Do all of your students feel welcome and included in your classrooms? As a faculty member, you may not be aware that our LGBTQA students at UMBC often feel alienated and uncomfortable. Join us for a lunch and learn discussion with Luke Jensen, Director of the Office of LGBT Equity at UMCP. Luke will lead a conversation to stimulate ideas about how to create even safer and more inclusive classrooms and LGBTQA campus climates. He will provide a brief overview to help us establish a common vocabulary (What does the T stand for and what is the difference between transgender and transsexual?) and to address some of the most commonly asked questions about today's LGBTQA students (Is it really okay to say queer?) The remainder of the workshop will be devoted to group conversation and discussion. Lunch will be provided.
