Queer Book Club
Are you interested in talking about LGBTQIA+ books and issues? Join the Gender and Sexuality Studies Program faculty and the GSRC for a casual book club discussion on LGBTQIA+ literature. Before each book club, students vote for the community read! GSS faculty whose research and interests align with the book that is selected often serve as the facilitator, allowing students do dive deeper into the text, it’s themes, all while also connecting with GSS’s wide-ranging faculty network. Sign-ups will open at the end of fall and winter quarter for the book club in the following quarter. Queer Book Club is only held in Winter Quarter and Spring Quarter. Contact gsrc@northwestern.edu for details or questions.
