The Faculty & Staff Safe Space Workshop is an educational intervention designed to support all members of the LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans*, queer/questioning, intersex, asexual, and all underrepresented sexual, gender, and/or romantic identities) campus community.
The workshop will assist faculty, staff and administrators who wish to become identified allies on campus in exploring and increasing their own awareness and knowledge of the LGBTQIA+ community and its history. Participants will receive information on relevant definitions, terms, symbols, and experiences from LGBTQIA+ students about campus climate, identity development, ways to be a visible ally, and resources for the LGBTQIA+ and ally communities. This workshop impacts Chapman University both environmentally and culturally through its commitment to creating a welcoming environment for all LGBTQIA+ community members.
Safe Space is a workshop intended to provide education to staff and faculty on Chapman's campuses as a means of promoting a more inclusive environment. The workshop will introduce participants to concepts, experiences, and terminology surrounding gender and sexuality, particularly as these pertain to the LGBTQIA+ community. The workshop also provides best practices for creating inclusive environments for those from this community.
