Each year, the Standing Committee on Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Concerns
sponsors a symposium dedicated to increasing the understanding of
various gay, lesbian, and bisexual issues.  This year, the committee
plans to sponsor a very important event focusing on curriculum issues.
Our subject is "Conversations on Curriculum: Sexualities in the
University Classroom."  Our vision for this event includes three panel
discussions and an informal networking reception.  Faculty and students
from the University of Oregon, Lane Community College, Oregon State
University, Portland State University and other institutions of higher
education around the state will be participating in all three programs.

Friday, Feb. 18  3-5 pm Gerlinger Lounge  U of O
"Mainstreaming the Margins:  Including Sexualities across the
Curriculum"
Panelists will talk about ways issues of sexuality are addressed in
various disciplines including biology, English, history, law, sociology
and theater arts, among others.  How are these issues relevant to the
core curriculum and traditional courses throughout the university?

Friday, Feb. 18  5:30-7 pm  Gerlinger Lounge  U of O

Join us for refreshments and informal resource sharing.

Saturday, Feb. 19  10 am-noon  EMU Walnut Room  U of O

Sexualities"

topics underway in university settings.  Our discussion will look at
types of support and obstacles encountered.

Saturday, Feb. 19  1-3 pm  EMU Walnut Room
"For people of All Sexual Orientations:  The Risks and Rewards of
Talking About Sexualities in the Classroom"
Our discussion will focus on experiences:  what happens in the classroom
when topics of sexualities are foregrounded, for all persons involved.
What does it mean to do this work responsibly?
