2022-23 Learn More Series Theme

January 24, 2022 — Boston University Diversity & Inclusion (BU D&I) is proud to announce the Learn More Series theme for the 2022-23 academic year will be exploring and understanding LGBTQIA+ Identity and Experiences. Each year, we devote ourselves to investigating a single topic of social importance through our Learn More Series. The effort features nationally renowned speakers, workshops, panel discussions, and reading groups, among other programming.

We encourage the BU community to participate. In fact, that’s the point! First launched in fall 2021, three Learn More Grants give students, faculty, and staff an opportunity to host a Learn More Series program of their own, create a year-long learning community with colleagues or fellow students, or to continue research as it relates to next year’s theme.

Read more about each Grant here and submit an application for a Learn More Grant starting Tuesday, February 15.

About the Learn More Grants

Learn More Programming Grant
The Learn More Programming Grant provides up to $3,000 to students, staff, and faculty to host programs and events that dive deeper into the Learn More Series annual topic and educate BU community members about the history and lived experiences of underrepresented groups in our increasingly heterogeneous population of students, staff, and faculty.

Learn More Together Grant
True learning is not in the mere consumption of knowledge but in the digestion of it through discussion and application. Learn More Together Grants encourage BU students, staff and faculty to create Learn More Together Communities (LMTCs), which will foster stronger relationships between staff, faculty, and students and build capacity for skills and action with respect to the annual Learn More Series topic.

Learn More Research Grant
The Learn More Research Grants provide BU faculty members with funding to support their high-impact research on social issues related to the annual Learn More Series theme. Through these grants, BU D&I supports the critical work of scholars dedicated to contributing to a more just society through their research. Applicants may request up to $5,000 in funding.
