The LGBTQ Resource Center and the Women’s and Gender Studies Program invites you to join the LGBTQIA+ Book Club Meeting once each month throughout the academic semester. This event is designed to travel a diverse array of literary works, with each session dedicated to a different book and creator, offering a rich tapestry of perspectives within the LGBTQIA+ community.
The Book Club provides a thoughtful and engaging environment where participants can delve into nuanced discussions, reflect on complex themes, and connect with fellow students, staff, and faculty. Our selections span various genres and topics, ensuring that each conference presents an opportunity to broaden our understanding of LGBTQIA+ experiences and narratives.
Whether you are an avid reader or new to the world of LGBTQIA+ literature, this club bids a welcoming space for intellectual exchange and people building. Even if you haven’t read the publication, you are encouraged to join the conversation and contribute your insights.
Come by the Center (Student Center 219) during office hours to register for the Book Club and receive a free copy of the month’s book.
