Exploring the intersections of gender, sexuality, and disability.

The Bloorview Research Institute's ProFILE Lab is excited to announce our upcoming KNEDS (Knowledge Network of Expertise in Disability & Sexuality) webinar:

Exploring the Intersections of Gender, Sexuality, and Disability. 
Join Wesley Magee-Saxton and Rachele Manett for an informal discussion and moderated Q&A on the intersections of gender, sexuality, and disability. Whether you're navigating these questions personally, supporting someone else, or simply looking to learn, this event offers a virtual space to listen, reflect, and connect. We'll begin with insights from speakers, and then open the floor for a guided discussion shaped by the interests and questions of those attending. Come join the conversation!
