Lunch and Learn logo

The Western New England University School of Law will host a virtual Lunch and Learn presentation titled Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Equal Treatment and Inclusion of the LGBTQ Community on Monday, January 30 at 12:00 noon.

Many of our social stereotypes and cultural norms presume people to be heterosexual and cisgender. As a result, some common interactions whether in classrooms, hallways, or workplaces, can leave LGBTQ people left out or excluded. In this Lunch and Learn session, we will talk about ways to ensure equal treatment and full inclusion of LGBTQ people across a range of settings. Bring your lunch, interest, curiosity, and experiences to this important DEI discussion.

This virtual presentation will be facilitated by Professor of Law Jennifer Levi and moderated by Professor of Law Dr. Bridgette Baldwin. The event is free and open to the public. Registration is required at bit.ly/LunchandLearnVirtualLGBTQ.

This Lunch and Learn is cosponsored by Western New England University Diversity and Inclusion Committee, School of Law Diversity and Outreach Committee and Center for Social Justice. For more information call 413-796-2260.
