Creating Inclusive, Intergenerational Spaces in the LGBTQIA+ Community

Join us for this free 1-hour webinar, as we explore generational differences and commonalities in the LGBTQIA+ community and discuss how ageism, homophobia, cultural/religious values, and life course inequalities impact LGBTQIA+ people and the nature of intergenerational relations.

Presenters will share ideas for creating safe spaces and programs that intentionally bring people of different ages together to engage in meaningful exchange, advocate for policy changes, and foster intergenerational empathy.

Presenters include:

  • Adam Greteman, Associate Professor of Art Education, School of the Art Institute of Chicago & Co-founder of the LGBTQ+ Intergenerational Dialogue Project
  • Phyllis Johnson, Elder Liaison, LGBTQ+ Intergenerational Dialogue Project
  • Katia Elise Klemm, Undergraduate Research Assistant, LGBTQ+ Intergenerational Dialogue Project
  • Andrew King, Professor of Sociology, University of Surrey, United Kingdom
  • Wilfred Labiosa, Founder and CEO, Waves Ahead, Puerto Rico

A 30-minute optional Q&A Session will follow the 1-hour event.

Attendance is open, but all participants must register in advance to attend. The webinar will be recorded, and a link to the recording will be shared with everyone who registers.

This webinar is presented as part of Generations United’s Shared Site Learning Network which is made possible with support from The Eisner Foundation.
