Race & Sexuality

IRRPP’s Race and Sexuality Series is a multi - format series of initiatives, events and programs that explore the intersections of race/ethnicity with sexual orientation, gender identity, class and other forms of oppression. The IRRPP Race and Sexuality Series this year focuses on the intersection of race and LGBTQ issues.

This multi - format series of events includes:

• A community dialog project in collaboration with local community organizations about issues of racism and youth disenfranchisement in Chicago’s LGBTQ communities. This collaboration with UCAN LGBT Host Home Project, Broadway Youth Center, and Affinity Commu nity Services, is supported in part by the UIC Institute for Civic and Public Engagement;
• A public lecture on the criminalization of queer, trans and people of color;
• A documentary screening of OutRage 69 with a discussion about race and Stonewall;
• A two - day event on the life and legacy of civil rights activist Bayard Rustin (organized by the UIC Gender and Sexuality Center).
