ABOUT QYM

Held by the Queer Trans Resource Center (QTRC), the QYM is a public and free conference that utilizes 'Queer' as a tool of empowerment, uniting people multiculturally to critique and dismantle detrimental and dominant LGBTQQIA+ politics and realize the radical potential of the queer & trans* community and scholarship. Queer Your Mind bridges the gaps between academia and social justice by fostering a safe space of queer academic exchange. The notion of 'Queer' employed by the conference includes, yet extends past, sexual orientation and gender to liberate LGBTQQIA+ communities.

Please join us on November 11, 2017, in Jack Adams Hall on the third floor of the César Chávez Student Center.
