GWS (early) Lunch and Learn in January 2025

Mohit’s talk is a call for awareness, activism, and solidarity. They will present their ongoing doctoral studies on the experiences of queer international students in small Canadian cities, while also sharing some of their personal experiences as a queer international student in Thunder Bay, navigating intersecting identities such as being a person of color. Queer students often face distinct challenges at the intersections of identity, culture, and belonging, especially in places that may lack strong LGBTQ+ communities or resources. In their talk, Mohit will discuss how these experiences shape queer students’ sense of identity, well-being, and community involvement, drawing from their recently published article, Transglobal Queer Identities, and other insights from their ongoing doctoral work.
