SUMMARY:Gender & Sexuality Learning Series :  Critical Vocabulary on sex\, gender\, and sexuality
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a workshop series over the fall to unpack key languages that we use in our writing\, research\, and dialogues of academia on topics of gender and sexuality.  To register for this series (which you can join in full or by session)\, please fill out this form! \n\nThese events will take place bi-weekly online beginning on Thursday\, September 14 from 1-2:30pm  \n\nIn these workshop\, we’ll have the chance to explore the nuances of terms and deepen our understanding of them. We’ll also discover how language can both reflect and shape our attitudes towards sex\, gender\, and sexuality\, and explore ways to use more inclusive language in our lives. Topics include: critical vocabulary of sexuality and gender\, the question of agency\, rethinking sex\, portrayals of sex and sexuality on-screen\, and capitalism and sexuality. Please find the dates and sign up for the sessions you are interested in below.\n\nAbout your Facilitator:\nWe have these sessions run by our Co-Director of Research and Education\, Hannah\, who holds a Masters’ Degree in Gender\, Sexuality\, and Women’s Studies from SFU. She thrives on community work and on various ways in which she can support and care for the members of SFPIRG. Having been a teacher for over ten years\, Hannah loves to organize events and facilitate workshops for students in order to help them find calm in a chaotic world and resist the systems that actively oppress our bodies. She loves to find new ways to practice self-care and active rest both for herself and for practicing it with the community.\n\n\n\nThank you wanting to join us for this important discussion!

SUMMARY:No Cops on Campus Open House
DESCRIPTION:Join members of the coalition No Cops on Campus to learn more about the work they are doing this fall! Members will be available to talk about organising they have done so far\, plans for the coming term\, and how you can get involved! We will be serving light snacks and beverages\, as well as making buttons! Please fill out this form to register (this is a drop in event\, but we need to know how many snacks to plan for!) \nAbout No Cops on Campus \nNo Cops on Campus (NCoC) is a collective of students and staff from across SFU campuses with a shared goal of growing\, dreaming\, and advocating for something beyond a status quo that relies on policing and security. \nSFU relies on security largely because of a misunderstanding that colonial policing is the only way to keep people “safe” on campus. Yet\, this form of safety does not extend to those who are traditionally targeted by policing systems including BIPOC communities\, Muslim peoples\, disabled peoples\, queer peoples\, and low income or houseless community members. We support and encourage those within educational institutions who are imagining futures with non-violent and inclusive community safety instead. Our work is built on decades of work by students across North America who similarly push for the implementation of these life-affirming alternatives to policing. \nWe as a student and workers collective are working toward the elimination of police and policing presence on all SFU campuses. \nAccessibility Considerations: \n\nour office is located near the elevator in the Students’ Union Building\nour door is wide enough to accommodate most mobility aids\nwe have a wide variety of seating available for many body types\nwe only use lamps in our space so those sensitive to overhead lighting can enjoy their time with us\nalthough we are interested in engaging in challenging conversation around police\, prison\, and abolition we will not tolerate abusive or condescending behaviour in our space. You will be asked to leave the space during the event if you are making our guests feel uncomfortable.\n\n  \n
