PTI Hosts Story Sharing Workshop at CUNY Graduate Center

In August 2018, we began a collaborative partnership with Dr. Michelle Fine and Dr. Maria Elena Torre at the Public Science Project, CUNY Graduate Center. With their guidance and support, we expanded our efforts to document and share our work. This included the our first Story Sharing Workshop, January 2019, an all-day event that offered opportunities for K-12 educators to share their stories through narrative writing, Moth-style storytelling, artistic expression or video-taped interviews.

This event, which will become an annual part of the PTI Story-Sharing Project, is aimed at collecting the many untold stories of LGBTQ+ educators and creating an archive to eventually be shared on our website. We look forward to continuing to collect more stories, and to broaden the circle of stories beyond our NYC home (with the help of this website and a social media campaign).
