Welcome!

Welcome to the homepage of the Queer Pride Graduate Student Association (QPGSA). We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our organization, and we hope that the information on our website will spark your interest in becoming involved.

Now in its third year, QPGSA is committed to supporting the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, queer, and allied members of Northwestern University's graduate school community. In addition to the numerous social and activist opportunities we host throughout the year, QPGSA hopes to further our academic programming this year and continue our efforts to stimulate and promote intellectual scholarship on issues that affect the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer communities. We are excited about our three new programs: a quarterly reading group that will discuss the latest in LGBT scholarship, a spring Burlesque Show that celebrates sexual identity and the diversity of ways in which sexuality and sexual identities are articulated, and a spring graduate conference which explores how to bridge the activist-intellectual divide in LGBT research.

We are more than happy to address any questions you may have with QPGSA or any of our events. You are also welcome to join our listserv, which allows you to stay updated with information pertaining to how you can become involved in our many social-networking, activist, or academic opportunities.

We look forward to meeting you.
