Abstract

This session is meant to bring graduate student scholars doing queer and ally work in the academy with senior scholars doing similar work.

In this session, the panelists and the participants will have an opportunity to discuss the successes and challenges of doing LGBTQI and ally work in Ph.D. programs, the academy, and the community at large.
