SXSW EDU 2020
"It Gets Better!": An LGBTQ+ Meet Up
Description:
Being an LGBTQ+ educator is not always easy. We struggle to learn exactly how/when to share our personal identities, and sometimes it's a battle to make our school campuses more inclusive. Add in geographic and cultural differences, as well as race, gender, language, or faith dynamics, and you've got your work cut out for you. So take a break! Come join us and other educators like you to discuss LGBTQ+ topics both in and out of the classroom, or just make a new friend. This meet up is for you!
