Ms. Ochs will present an interactive keynote talk, “The Changing Landscape of Identity: Understanding LGBTQIA + Identities and Experiences in 2022”

Program descriptions:

Beyond Binaries: How do we assign labels to our complex experiences of identity? In this interactive program, we explore the landscape of sexuality, conduct a thought-provoking anonymous survey of those present, and look together at the data. This program will change the way you think about labels and deconstruct binary systems of identity.

The Changing Landscape of Identity: How are people using and experiencing sexual orientation and gender in 2022? And what do you need to know to be culturally competent in this area? Ms. Ochs will discuss her research with LGBTQ+ teens and young people. Bring your questions and an open mind.

Ms. Ochs is an advocate for the rights of people of all orientations and genders to live safely, openly, and with full access and opportunity. Her work focuses on increasing awareness and understanding of complex identities and mobilizing people to be powerful allies to one another within and across identities and social movements. She was named by Teen Vogue as one of “9 Bisexual Women Who Are Making History.”

These Women's History Month and Pride Week Events are sponsored by the Women and Gender Studies Interdisciplinary Unit and the Equity and Campus Diversity Office and supported by an FSA Founders Fund grant.
