Why is research an important part of 2SLGBTQ+ communities? Come to the third annual Queer Research Connections event to learn how you can pursue the answers to big questions! Student research will be highlighted, and participants will learn how to engage in research of their own. Light refreshments will be provided, and attendees will have a chance to build connections with faculty who drive research at MacEwan.

Open to all students, staff, faculty, and community members interested in up-and-coming queer research. ASL interpretation will be provided.

Shed the shame, fight the fright, and unleash your undoubtedly beautiful, or at least entertaining, voice for all to hear!

Come down to Towers Pub for a night of queer-themed karaoke with a twist of the theatrical. There’ll be group sing-alongs and prizes to be won in our competition rounds. Come one and all to entertain your peers and, more importantly, your hostess! She’s got the prizes, after all. 

Be sure to RSVP with your karaoke song requests at: https://forms.gle/a6ZCKShoh3VxxsHR7

Event is 18+, ID required. All are welcome.

There is a long and problematic history of gender policing in sports through official policy and practice. This is true in elite sports as well as in recreational sports and all levels in between. In this talk, we will discuss this history as well as current provincial policy (Bill 29), with a particular focus on the impacts on trans and gender-diverse folks, but also cisgender girls and women. Of course, where discriminatory restrictions exist, so do examples of resiliency, resistance, and joy; accordingly, we will share insights from research and our own experiences. Everyone belongs in sport.

Presented by Eva Bošnjak and Dr William Bridel

ASL interpretation will be provided.

Poetry and prose have always been a vehicle for self-expression. Writing speaks to the heart of human experience, connecting readers, writers, and listeners across continents and across centuries. Join us in an exploration of poetry and prose, featuring pieces written by MacEwan students. Want to share your own writing? Bring your work with you and sign up to read during our open mic period.
