Queering Public Health

Queering Public Health fosters a community for those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, allies, or other identities (from here on, referred to as queer) related to the field of Public Health. The Queering Public Health group is a space dedicated to fostering community for those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, allies, or other identities (from here on, referred to as queer); creating a learning environment where students and faculty produce and share research that represents queer individuals and queers the norms of Public Health; and leading advocacy and service in the name of underrepresented individuals on our campus and in our broader communities. The Queering Public Health group was formed in response to the lack of space to discuss queerness in the context of Public Health. This group is intended to fill this gap by providing a number of opportunities including social networking, research, and service for queer students and their allies interested in advancing health.
