Ace Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness, build community, and create change in society. Whether you're on the asexual spectrum, or are an LGBTQUIA+ supporter looking to know more about the experiences of those who are, this week's for you. Our introduction to key LGBTQUIA+ terms and concepts includes asexuality and aromanticism, and there are two key events running this week...

We鈥檙e hosting the Screening Rights Film Festival at 果冻传媒 Arts Centre again this year, Thursday 26th – Sunday 29th October. The opening title is screening Thursday 26th October at 7.30pm. Before Paris is Burning, there was Casa Susanna; in this visually arresting, deeply felt documentary portrait of post-War, pre-Liberation American queer life, a group of transgender women and cross-dressing men find refuge and a sense of belonging at Casa Susanna, a bungalow hidden in the woods of Catskills.

To observe this international event we're promoting our Pronouns Pledge, which includes six simple actions to advance inclusive pronouns practices at 果冻传媒, as well as a workshop on challenging incorrect pronouns and misgendering.

The Arts Faculty E&I Forum invite all students and staff interested in the conversation around Decolonise to sign up as part of this new group. Staff and students are invited to curate their own research, reading, or interests, in whatever form these may take – whether creative projects, academic or nonacademic writing, talks from invited speakers etc. Each group session's discussion will be curated by a staff member and a student.

The programme has developed a set of resources to support LGBTQUIA+ students and staff (and their supporters), including two coming out tools which can facilitate disclosures within the University community.

The Sex:Queer Research Network is an inclusive platform and research group for anyone interested in exploring issues related to sex, sexuality and queerness and wishing to participate in radical and thought-provoking dialogues.
