Enhancing the student LGBT+ community

The University of Lincoln is committed to fostering an environment where diversity is celebrated and everyone is treated fairly, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, marital status, ethnic origin, nationality, disability, class, religion or belief, and/or age.

This academic year, more than ever, the University of Lincoln will embrace diversity and inclusiveness. In February 2018, we will celebrate LGBT History Month and host a number of LGBT-related events, among them Transitional States, a programme that includes an international video art exhibition where LGBT+ topics are prominent. In addition to the exhibition, the University will also host number of public discussions with LGBT artists, activists and public figures.

To kick off this exciting programme, Gendered Intelligence, a LGBT+ organisation that works with youth groups, will run a workshop for all interested students on Wednesday 27th September 2017 at 1pm. The workshop will cover topics such understanding gender diversity and the impact of gender stereotyping; how to challenge prejudice and discrimination; and creative ways to get involved in Lincoln’s LGBT community so help foster an environment where diversity is celebrated and valued. This workshop will allow you to meet other students interested in creating an engaged community across the LGBT+ spectrum in Lincoln. Drinks will be provided following the workshop.

The workshop is free but we only have a limited places available. To reserve a place or to ask any questions, email cunsworth@lincoln.ac.uk by 25 September 2017. First come, first served!
