Drop-in Workshop
This workshop will explore issues of digital identity in light of the heightened use of social networking and Web 2.0 tools to create, share and distribute content online. What does your digital tattoo say about you? How much of it do you actively manage? How can you ensure that it accurately reflects you and the work that you do? Come to this session to discuss these questions and explore online tools and resources to help you ink your own tattoo.

Positive Space is an initiative of UBC’s Equity Office that is intended to help make UBC more receptive to and welcoming of its lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, questioning, transgender, transsexual, gender variant, two-spirit and intersex (LGBQTTI) population and issues of sexual and gender diversity on campus.
The workshops are 3.5 hours in length, informative, interactive and a lot of fun. They attract a diverse mix of people from across the campus, including those with a lot of experience and those to whom these issues are relatively new. There’s something for everyone here. After the initial workshop, you may decide to become a Resource Person with the campaign, in which case you will be given a poster and button to advertise your participation. The time commitment for those who choose to become Resource Persons is minimal.
The Positive Space Campaign is coordinated by UBC’s Equity Office. For more information about the Campaign, to sign up for the workshop, to see Professor Toope’s statement of support or to find out who are among the hundreds of trained Resource People on campus, please see www.positivespace.ubc.ca.
Preregistration is required. Register online now.
