This symposium feels like a light in a dark political moment for 2SLGBTQ+ communities. Join us: tinyurl.com/4s3mazkw. I'm honoured to have been asked to deliver a keynote speech in Melbourne at the event, which is hosted by the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society #LGBTQ #queerjoy

So delighted to launch the Queer Joy! project’s website! See collage, zines, & short films created by 2SLGBTQ+ youth in resistance to rising hate in Alberta, Canada, which has the most repressive anti-queer and trans laws in the country: www.queerjoy.ca

I'm delighted to share this new publication which is the editorial introduction to a special issue: "Mobilising Queer Joy: Establishing Queer Joy Studies." Please share (the joy) and help us spread word of this new area of study. @queerjoylab.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Misinformation is fuelling support for Alberta's new education, healthcare, and sport laws, and this teach-in will help clarify what these anti-2SLGBTQ+ laws are about and their impacts. Please share the event widely! Register us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...
