LGBTQ+ Learning & Affirming Challenge<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdi2JNYCtTqP-aKWx8CvbC3cKVSqTGav2_ABKoQI-94fuQWtw/viewform> Join the LGBTQ+ Learning & Affirming Challenge from April 4-8! Each day, for five days, you'll receive an email with brief tasks designed to learn, share information, and take action in order to create LGBTQ+ affirming learning experiences. We'll look at norms and language, reflect on notions of normativity, and design a personalized plan of action for our work beyond the Challenge. Have questions? Contact jenbonnet@maine.edu<mailto:jenbonnet@maine.edu>. This program was designed by Tausif Sanzum Karim, a master's student in Communication & Journalism, Liliana Herakova, assistant professor in Communication & Journalism, Jen Bonnet, Social Sciences & Humanities Librarian, and Nancy Lewis, Head of Reference & Information Literacy, all at the University of Maine.
