This PDW offers a fresh take on academic skill-sharing, inspired by the Queer Eye series. The workshop features early-career scholars from the LGBTQ+ community who share their experiences to provide professional development skills related to navigating academic life, including teaching, research, voice, care, and collegiality.

The PDW features short presentations, a panel discussion, and interactive roundtables, where participants will engage directly with the speakers in a supportive setting.
Everyone is welcome regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, or background. No registration required: Just show up.
Join us to explore how queer perspectives can enrich the ways we work, teach, and connect in academia. We hope to see you there!
Warm regards,
