the back of your minds and be
aware of it in all sessions, to
help see connections between
subjects and foster a more
accepting environment

and invoke the different
identities of individuals we

Educate yourself on the
concepts and language of
queer theory to be better
equipped with the skills
necessary to queer our
sessions and create a more
welcoming and comfortable
environment for queer
students and staff
Remember this distinction to
help you not view queer
theory as only relating to the
social rights movement for the
LGBTQ+ community, but as a
broader concept that is
applicable to many different
situations
Be mindful of your words by
actively trying to use less
heteronormative language and
help ensure that you are
creating a safe and inclusive
atmosphere for non-straight
staff and students that come to
the center.
