Let's Talk About S*x!

Do you identify as a racialized woman, aged 18 or above, have engaged in online dating during COVID-19, and speak English proficiently?

Come participate in a study on racialized women’s online sexual and dating experiences in the context of COVID-19! We are seeing approximately 30 participants.

If you are interested in participating or learning more about the study, please contact the researcher directly at [email protected]

Join the "I'm writing a new story" event! This event centres survivors of gender-based violence, while providing a creative outlet for expression through writing group. The writing group is rather low-profile, and provides a safe space to explore and celebrate survivorship, enjoyment, and nerdiness!

Each session will bring focus to a specific overarching theme; equally incorporating group and solo activity. Fall 2021's session will be focusing on "letting go, loss, and leaving," short-fiction poetry and ghost stories (tis' the season!).

All genders and sexualities are warmly welcomed!

Sessions will run online each Monday from 5:00-6:30pm (Sept. 20 - Nov. 1st).
