Long Beach State's LGBT Resource Center will host the second Diversity Week in mid-April.
Along with Diversity Week's main focus of providing educational programs in public schooling, the Resource Center's adviser, Kirstyn Chun, says that this year will focus on the concept of "intersecting identities."
Chun says that many LGBT students can also be classified as other minorities, and these combined identities are what define a person and showcase the complexity in an individual's character.
Here is a list of the week's agenda:
Monday, April 14, noon to 1:30 p.m. Campus Forum on Hate Crimes
Tuesday, April 15, 12:30 to 2 p.m. LGBT, with a Disability, Managing Multiple Identities
Wednesday, April 16, 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. “LGB …T? The Fight Over ENDA and Reconciling Rifts Between LGB and Transgender Communities
Thursday, April 17, 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. Day of Silence Information and Resources; and from 2 to 3 p.m. Beyond Day of Silence: How to Make Every Day a Safe Day at School for LGBT Students.
Of course, all members of the community are welcome.
