🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️Join us as we open the 2026 Philippine Q***r Studies Conference with a dialogue that holds space for rigor and tenderness, friction and flow, and the many ways we move together.

“Face-to-Face, Heart-to-Heart: Conversation on Mobilities, Methodologies, and Movements” brings together two voices from different generations of q***r work and thought to reflect on protest, care, joy, fatigue, resistance, and repair. Together, they will explore how movements are shaped not only through strategy and critique, but also through relationships, lived experience, and the everyday work of surviving and imagining otherwise.

See you at the 2026 PQSC!
