On Sept 9 we met as a group to discuss various contacts we had within the LGBTQIA community. Mary mentioned having a contact with a Kink group that also had polyamory ties that we could maybe work with. Karl spoke about the Pride Center and the LGBTQIA group on campus. I (Kilei) talked about the therapist contact I have who works with teens and adolescents who identify as LGBTQIA or are questioning whether or not they may be LGBTQIA.
We also talked about what types of projects we may like to do for our project however it was determined that it was too soon to effectively have that discussion when we had not finalized an organization to work with yet.
Group assignments were given out to continue communications with our contacts and determine if each contact/organization had the capacity to allow us to meet the requirements for the Social Change Effort Project assignment.
Group members in attendance were: Karl, Mary, Jessica, and Kilei
The above writeup is accurate. I have attempted contact with the LGBT RC again, but have not received a reply. I will try again before Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteI have also attempted to complete my assignment: calling the leader of the kink organization to get more information and am waiting for a response. I will call him again today.
ReplyDeleteI also looked at several resources concerning our various populations and have a few events to share with the group next week

ReplyDeleteI do not have any specific contacts, but am continuing to brainstorm with the group. In addition, I am reading a few articles members of the group recommended regarding the LGBTQIA community.
