Chords of Esperanza: Queering Biliteracy, Centering Justicia
Join CU Boulder’s BUENO Center and A Queer Endeavor for a collective learning two-day conference experiencia that will bring forth new melodías and armonías in chorus for intersectional justice. We envision this gathering as both refuge and rally: an opportunity to amplify voices and histories too often silenced, to dance to the music of our ancestors, and to weave new possibilities in education. Together, we will listen, learn, and move in concert while composing the soundscape of educational futures rooted in justicia.
