At this year’s conference we have added a new component to the conference called Teaching Out on Friday Afternoon, October 16. This roundtable will provide the opportunity for faculty and senior staff to share best practices and discuss common concerns faced by GLBT Educators and Allies. 

 
The agenda will be set by the attendees who pre-register. Topics currently under consideration include:

• Risks and Rewards of Coming Out in the Classroom – based on a session at the Academy of Management in Chicago in August of 2009

• Tenure Discussions – strategies for what works from those who’ve achieved tenure

• Breakthroughs in Journal Publication for GLBT Scholars – where to focus, where to avoid when trying to place research in publications

• Overview of the Reaching Out MBA Case Library – now more than a dozen titles available for educators to use in a variety of disciplines

 
Beyond this one afternoon session you will be able to fully attend the rest of the conference as well. The rate for faculty attendees is $75 until September 15, and the hotel rate is $149 per night.
