Digital Display: MacEwan Pride Week
This year, Pride Week at MacEwan runs from March 6-10! This year’s theme is Queer Joy—a radical act of resistance and a way to build community and resilience. Events will be held around campus all week in celebration, including the Billeh Nickerson Poetry Reading on March 7 from 11am-12pm in Room 7-269 (Multipurpose Room) and Over the Rainbow Storytime, which will be held in the Library on March 8 from 10am-11am.
In honour of Pride Week, the Library has compiled a list of books and films about LGBTQ+ history and identity that you can check out below!
