SUMMARY:BU Queer Lunch and Learn: Unsettling Trans Rights with Dr. Leon Laidlaw
DESCRIPTION:BU Queer is hosting our next Lunch and Learn on February 3\, 2026 at 12:40pm at the Gathering Space in the John E. Robbins Library. \nThe event will feature guest speaker Dr. Leon Laidlaw with his talk\, Unsettling Trans Rights: Gender as a Basis of Indigenous Solidarity. This talk explores how settler-Indigenous solidarity can be pursued on the basis of gender. This talk begins by contextualizing the roots of gender oppression and gendered colonialism in the Western gender binary and reflects on the different pathways that Two-Spirit and trans resistance movements may take. This talk concludes with a conversation about decolonizing trans rights to better align with Indigenous struggles for sovereignty and self-determination. \nDr. Leon Laidlaw (he/they) is an assistant professor in Sociology and Gender and Women’s Studies at Brandon University. They are a white settler trans scholar who does intersectional and decolonizing work on the topics of gender\, rights\, and justice.

SUMMARY:Candlelight Vigil for Nex Benedict
DESCRIPTION:A Candlelight Vigil will be held at Brandon University this Friday\, March 1st\, at 6:30 p.m. for Oklahoma teen Nex Benedict. \nWe are gathering around the Turtle Ceremonial Fire Pit in the Kavanagh Courtyard at BU. Bring a candle\, a battery-powered light\, whatever you are able\, and dress warm for the chilly weather. \nThe rise in discriminatory and hateful policies\, discussions\, and by-laws across North America directed at queer and gender diverse people\, especially youth\, cannot continue to escalate. Stand up to hate and misinformation. We are all hurting and we already know the real danger and harm that this causes. Check in with your 2SLGBTQIA+ friends and family. If you need someone to talk to\, there are safe resources available in Canada and North America: \nLesbian Gay Bi Trans Youth Line (call\, text\, or live chat available): https://www.youthline.ca/ \nIt Gets Better Canada\, Get Help. If you are in crisis or in need of immediate help\, please text or call one of the numbers provided\, or access community specific resource guides: https://itgetsbetter.org/get-help/ \nRest in power\, Nex. https://www.freedomoklahoma.org/news/nex-benedict
