Guides students through oral communication skills around LGBTQ+ topics. The course centers the experiences of minoritized intersectional LGBTQ+ communities, and students will use speaking, presentation, and facilitation skills to educate the UMD community about sexual orientation and gender identity and expression through panel discussions in classes, residence halls, and other university settings. Students who have received training for this purpose enter into these discussions prepared to disseminate accurate information, to answer questions that students, staff, and faculty may have about the realities of LGBTQ+ lives. Students will receive training that is rooted in queer theory and social justice education, building on the prerequisite course LGBT 200.
