TRANS CAUCUS
If you are trans and/or nonbinary and would like to join the informal Facebook group for trans academics in social work, please email Vern at vharner@uw.edu. While this group is not formally associated with the Q Caucus, there is a lot of crossover in membership.
LISTSERV UPDATE
Our members are encouraged to send out their own announcements, queries, and other messages via our Google Group.
Members can email posts directly to q-caucus@googlegroups.com. Doing this will send the message out to all members of the Caucus. Please note that your listserv post must be from the email at which you receive other Q Caucus messages.
Members do not need to be using an @gmail.com email address to use this listserv. For members who do have a @gmail.com email address, they can also view the group by visiting groups.google.com/g/q-caucus.
