LGBTQ+ Lit: A Conversation
During LGBTQ+ History Month, ODEI partnered with the Kenyon Review to host a podcast on queer and transgender literature.
If you are a member of the LGBTQ+ community — or if you're interested in LGBTQ+ issues — you'll discover an active, diverse, and above all welcoming LGBTQ+ community at Kenyon. It includes not only students but also professors and administrators.
At Kenyon, our LGBTQ+ community supports one another, and we seek to form a strong and generous support system, while providing resources to help our queer and transgender students thrive. All are welcome to join in the process of celebrating and sharing our commitment to LGBTQ+ student support and inclusion.
Here, you’ll find a number of resources for Kenyon’s LGBTQ+ community. While these initiatives are led by the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ODEI), we have a number of campus and community partners who share in this important work.
Please take a moment to explore the various resources on this website, including upcoming and past events, information about inclusive language, resources for transgender students, information about our LGBTQ+ inclusive non-discrimination policy, and much more!
