QSR Programming

Main content start

QSR offers a range of programming to nurture and cultivate queer cultures on campus.

QSR offers a range of programming, including affinity groups for Black queer and trans students (Blk QTs), queer and trans people of color (QTPOC Kickback), and students who currently identify or have identified with the Islamic faith and/or community (QueerSalam); spaces for community healing (Wellness @ QSpot), artistic practice and creativity (Queer Arts Initiative), queer pedagogies and research praxis (Queer Learning Initiative) and dreaming of radically different futures (Queer Futures Project); collaborative groups celebrating the intersections of faith and LGBTQIA+ identity (Queer Refuge); community spaces for trans people (Trans&); and resources helping queer, trans and non-binary students survive and, ideally, flourish at Stanford (QT Umbrella Fund, a collaboration with Weiland Health Initiative).

Affinity Groups

QSR affinity groups are dedicated spaces designed to bring people together for nurturing, regeneration and learning; to explore shared identities; and to build queer communities at Stanford. Our affinity groups host regular meetings throughout the quarter: some are informal gatherings, some are workshops or seminars and some feature special invited guests, performers or speakers.

Initiatives

QSR Initiatives aim to encourage queer modes of research, discovery, creation, and healing at Stanford, providing dedicated time and space for co-sensorial doing, making & being beyond the boundaries of institutional norms and imperatives.
