About this Event

Wednesday, June 17th, 3-6PM, Special Collections at W.A.C. Bennett Library (Burnaby campus)!


Join SFSS Out on Campus and SFU Library in celebration and appreciation of researchers at SFU who are members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ communities and/or work on 2SLGBTQIA+ specific topics! Three student researchers (one undergraduate, one Master’s, and one PhD student) and one faculty member will present their exciting and vital work. Additionally, the Trans Equity Pod (as part of the SFU EDI Office) will unveil their new zine for 2SLGBTQIA+ community at SFU - “Impossible Lives”!


We invite everyone who cares about research and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, everyone who is interested in learning more about current research projects at SFU, and everyone who is curious how they might start or advance their research pathway!


The optional dress code is “The spectrum of brilliance” - choose a favourite colour, shape, texture, etc. to showcase in your outfit! Light refreshments will be provided.


SPEAKERS: TBA
