Queer Events

Events and activities are an important part of creating queer community on campus. The more people that come along the better, so keep up to date with what’s happening via the GSAnews email list and the queer email list   http://mail.gsa.unimelb.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/Queerlist

We hope to hold regular events including social coffee or after work drinks, guest speaker events, film nights and GSA queer group outings to external queer events. Please contact us with any suggestions of events you’d like to see.

Queer Liaisons

We're looking for students who identify differently to the current queer officers (a queer man and woman, both local students) to act as 'queer liaisons'. You would need to be available to students who would like to talk to people who identify similarly to themselves. This means that this year we're after, for example, a genderqueer or trans person or an international queer student to nominate themselves to be a point of contact for other students. Ideally, you would have a photo of yourself and an email address on the GSA queer page. Again, there won't be much of a time commitment involved, but it's another step towards making 'queer' (and the diversity that this word indicates) more visible on campus and creating an open and supportive network. Email Dave and Alli if you'd like to be a liaison.
