Expression of Interest: Student-Led LGBTQIA+ Arts Faculty Talks
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
