Minutes - Meeting 12/9/11

• Last meeting of the semester! :(
• Will be sending out an email next semester to see which day works best for everyone to meet on
• Discussion: Rick Perry campaign ad
• Can already pray in schools, just can't force others to pray
• In France, can't wear hijabs in schools
• August's idea for workshop at Western Regional Conference (or other conferences)
• Discussion about science and queer identity and how to bridge the gap
• Generally, literature assumes heteronormativity and there's discrimination
• Also, lots of queer activists mistrust/don't understand science. Scientists are seen as apolitical
• Since we're in this scientists interested in activism minority, we should represent them.'
• We can try to get National Organization of Gay and Lesbian Scientists and Technical Professionals (NOGLSTP) involved - resources, etc.
• Could also bring them here to speak!
• No meeting next week! :( Have a good break!
