Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Focus Group

For more information about the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Focus Group, click here to send an e-mail to the focus group leadership.

The LGBT Focus Group is committed to interdisciplinary praxis focusing on theatre, performance, sexuality, and gender. We promote perspectives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered persons within ATHE; serve as a medium for the discussion of goals, issues, and artistic expression related to gender and sexuality; monitor and counter the material effects of homophobia in our profession; advise ATHE on guidelines and ethical standards and on retention, promotion, and tenure; and foster new research to include the perspectives of LGBTQ artists and scholars. LGBT sponsors an annual pre-conference and a listserv as well as panels at the annual ATHE conference.
