Q Scholars and the Program in LGBTQ Studies is proud to present the 2023 annual Q Grad Conference, to be held in person in Royce Hall on May 19, 2023.

The day’s varied assortment of graduate student-led panels includes discussions of suturing borders, scrambling archives, trusting spaces, the aesthetics of solidarity, and emerging conceptions of care, to name a few. The day-long conference will run from 8:15am to 5:30pm, followed by a reception in the Fowler Museum Courtyard.
