About the 2025 Symposium

Theme: Queer and Trans Futures

In a sociopolitical climate where queer and trans communities are increasingly marginalized and victimized, we center a commitment toward our collective futures. We recognize a need to investigate and interrogate our current realities, challenge oppressive systems, and create communities to survive and thrive. We also know that we can do so while looking toward a future where queer and trans people are liberated. While we invite presentation proposals within this theme, we welcome presentation proposals on a range of topics and within myriad disciplines.
