Movement and Mobilizing

Session Submission Type: In-Person Created Panel

Session Description

Framing, advocacy strategies, narratives have each been key considerations in the ongoing battle for LGBTQIA rights. How are rights conceptualized or nested within a broader civil rights discourse? How has LGBTQIA progress catalyzed political engagement and participation? What are the levers of political transformation for LGBTQIA rights? This panel helps address these significant questions--particularly in a post-marriage equality world.
