OUT IN THE SILENCE
Wednesday at the WL Public Library
Out in the Silence is a documentary film that tells the story of a handful of small-town residents struggling for inclusion amidst vehement anti-gay sentiment.  The showing will be followed by a panel discussion.

INTERVIEW OPPORTUNITY
Allison Peltier, a doctoral student in the Counseling & Psychology program at Purdue. Much of her research focuses on Multiculturalism
and she is particularly interested in LGBT issues. She is currently looking for gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals from underrepresented groups (i.e., racial/ethnic minorities) with whom she can interview. The interviews will likely take an hour to an hour and half and interviewees will be asked questions of a sensitive nature (e.g., his/her coming out story; experiences of  acism/discrimination). Please know that if you  decide to participate in the interview, your anonymity will be protected and all information will be kept confidential. If you have any questions regarding the interview and/or her research, please feel free to email her at ampeltie@purdue.edu.
