INDE 215: Queer Health Lecture Series
Everyone is welcome at our Spring lunchtime lecture series about queer health issues. The lecture series began with great success in the spring of 2003 and has continued since. Topics include everything from LGBT veteran health to caring for gender creative and transgender youth.
Prominent speakers such as Dr. Kate O'Hanlon, former president of the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association (GLMA), Dr. Ben Barres, Professor of Neurobiology at SMS, and Dr. Dawn Harbatkin, former director of the Callen Lorde Clinic of New York City have lectured in the series.
The lecture series this Spring is on Tuesdays from 12:30-1:20pm in LKSC 120 of the medical school. The series is sponsored by the department of Pathology at Stanford as well as Stanford QuEST and is coordinated by a student teaching-assistant. Feel free to email this year's TA, AJ Millet (amillet@stanford.edu ) with any questions or concerns.
