will meet this 2025 winter-spring semester. WP fellow Joey Reyes has agreed to facilitate
<b>“LGBTQ+ Study and Writing.” </b>Knowing the advantages of having co-facilitators, we are getting the word out for someone to co-lead with Joey. (This pleases Joey very much!)</span></p>

Group we piloted in spring 2024. We had a promising start, focusing on selected readings and devoting a good amount of time puzzling out responses to questions and posing new ones. We will draw on this beginning and push forward—to elevate our commitment
to being of use to the LGBTQ+ community and to allies.</span></p>
