Abstract
Join members of the Queer Support Services Network of Western Canada (QSSN – pronounced kissin) as they discuss the challenges and opportunities of intercollegiate collaborative approaches to equity work on contemporary campuses. The panelists will explore themes that have been common to the work of the QSSN, including geographic challenges, sustainable equity work, institutional inertia, addressing emotional labour, and the power of solidarity inaction. They will also explore how the QSSN paved the way for the Northside Pride Collaborative Group of Edmonton, and how they were able to plan a single Pride Week for five schools of varying capacity to share in excellent programming. Lessons learned and strategies for success will be shared.
