Calgary Institute for the Humanities
LGBTQ2S+ Learning and Sharing at UCalgary. You make it happen.
Lively and accessible academic perspectives are essential in helping us to understand how far our communities have come, and how far we still need to go. The annual LGBTQ2S+ Lecture continues to play this important role by welcoming internationally renowned LGBTQ2S+ scholars, artists and activists to our city.
