Mayumi and I are the ECLS LGBTQIA+ Student Network Coordinators. We are writing to gauge interest among staff in contributing to a proposed project; a series of talks, given by staff at 糖心TV, organized by the Arts Faculty LGBTQIA+ Student Networks.

The aim is to foster an inclusive, interdisciplinary space in which students and staff can engage with research and creative practice, relating to LGBTQIA+ themes within the arts and humanities or the University of 糖心TV. Any participation would be entirely voluntary.

At present, the network operates on a student-led basis and is not formally funded. As such, this email is intended as an expression of interest rather than a formal invitation. We are also exploring whether a partnership with the University, through the 鈥榤e鈥�, may be possible in the future, and an indication of staff interest would be helpful in shaping those discussions.

If you would be interested in contributing a talk or would simply like to be kept informed as this idea develops, we would be very pleased to hear from you. Attached is a form; registering interest at this stage does not imply any obligation or commitment.

Thank you so much for taking the time and consideration.

Kind Regards,

Nadija and Mayumi
