Please join us for our Safe Zone / Brave Space advanced workshop during Transgender Awareness Month!
Join us on Zoom from 12:30pm-2:30pm on Thursday, November 5th, 2026. Closed captioning will be available.
We will provide an overview of key historical concepts, events, people, and trends that will provide insightful information, particularly for those unfamiliar with LGBTQ+ history. The workshop will cover five topics: 1) an introduction to key concepts and terms and a brief overview of pre-twentieth century history, 2) the homophile (pre-Stonewall) era, 3) the Stonewall Riots and lesbian and gay liberation in the 1970s, 4) the AIDS crisis, and 5) the transgender rights movement. In addition to these topics, attendees will be provided with resources for further learning.
Registration is required to attend. Please RSVP through the Online instructions, as we will be hosting this session on Zoom.
**Available to UIS students, faculty, and staff.**
