Pride Week Lecture with Dr. Kyle Velte

Every March, Simon’s Rock celebrates Pride Week through a series of educational, cultural, and social events for our students and the community. This year, Dr. Kyle Velte (she/her) will lead us in conversation. 

In her lecture "The Legal Minefield for LGBTQ+ People and How You Can Make a Difference", Dr. Velte will cover the current legal and political landscape of LGBTQ civil rights, talk about allyship, and talk about how to resist without giving up joy in these dark legal and political times.

Dr. Kyle Velte is the Associate Dean for Faculty, Professor, and Karelitz Chair in Evidence Law at the University of Kansas School of Law where she teaches Evidence, Torts, Employment Discrimination, and Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity Law. She is a nationally recognized expert on sexual orientation and gender identity law and has taught her Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Law class as a visiting professor at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law and the University of Denver Sturm College of Law.

This event is free and open to the public. It is also available via livestream.
