Our Children Are Your Students: Book Launch

18/1/2021

0 Comments

 
We are delighted to share that our new book Our Children are Your Students is now available for purchase! The new book shares findings from the LGBTQ Families Speak Out research project that started in 2014 and ended in 2020. As many of you know, the goal of the project was to video interview LGBTQ families across Ontario about their experiences in public schools and share our findings from these interviews with teachers, community educators, and other LGBTQ families. 
The project includes:
  • video and audio interviews with 37 LGBTQ parents, youth, and families in seven Ontario cities
  • an archive of 300 video clips from the interviews available on the project’s website: www.lgbtqfamiliesspeakout.ca
  • a multi-media verbatim theatre production, called Out at School, last performed at Toronto Pride in June 2019.
Out at School – with eight new line drawings by visual artist Benjamin Lee hicks and links to three original songs by and songwriter Kate Reid – has just been published in Our Children Are Your Students. 

You can order the book here and join us for a virtual book launch on February 12th at 4pm. Register for the event here.

Congratulations Dr. Jenny Salisbury!

14/1/2021

The LGBTQ Families Speak Out project would like to congratulate Dr. Jenny Salisbury on the successful defence of her doctoral thesis!

Jenny's thesis 
Community-Engaged Theatre Audiences aims to understand how individuals make meaning or sense out of community-engaged theatre performances which are often plays are social justice initiatives, working within different communities to foster social change.

Jenny’s research  asks “
what can scholars and artists learn about community-engaged theatre by asking audience members about their experiences?” Audiences are so often erased or simply absent from archives and theatre scholarship. Jenny’s thesis research centers their voices in order to better understand community-engaged theatre as an advocacy project. 

Many well wishes, Dr. Jenny Salisbury!
