The Center for Student Diversity & Inclusion invites you to join us for Sessions One, Two, and Three of Tartan Allies. Tartan Allies was created by the Center with the goal of fostering a stronger ally network to our LGBTQIA2S+ community at Carnegie Mellon.
Tartan Allies is made up of three progressive sessions that participants must complete in order, starting with Session One. Participants can complete all three sessions at their own pace. As our name suggests, being an ally is not a passive behavior. Good and effective allies listen, learn, and act. Join us for Tartan Allies sessions if you are interested in becoming part of this inclusive and supportive community.
Session One serves as an introduction to issues impacting the queer community. This is demonstrated through recent data about queer experiences, a breakdown of terminology and proper usage of pronouns, and discussion of multiple identities and how to unpack gendered social norms.
Session Two elevates our understanding of sexuality, gender identity, and assigned sex at birth, and introduces forms of attraction and intersectional oppression.
Session Three deepens one’s understanding of systemic oppression impacting queer communities and elevates the need to take an intersectional approach to queer advocacy through engaging significant theoretical and cultural frameworks.
If you have completed SafeZone training before, we encourage you to participate in Tartan Allies to ensure you stay current with the information you have and remain a part of this network of people committed to creating an inclusive community here at CMU.
