Rainbow Office Hours, during February
We invite members of staff, especially LGBT+ members of staff, to volunteer to host Rainbow Office Hours. The purpose is to allow LGBT+ PhD students and staff to drop in for informal chats and peer support.
The topics of discussion during Rainbow Office Hours vary – some students may ask for advice about LGBT+ spaces and organisations in Edinburgh, some ask about University procedures and policies regarding name and gender changes, whilst others want to discuss their fears about coming out. Most, however, just want to talk to another LGBT+ person.
This initiative is inspired by similar events elsewhere, in particular by our colleagues at the University of Glasgow. A helpful discussion of some of the ideals and conditions for these sorts of events is available here. If these hours are popular, we will establish them as a permanent fixture in PPLS.
If you wish to attend office hours, no need to let us know, simply turn up. However, we do ask that you double check here on the day of your visit, since the hours here will be kept up to date.
