2026 Gender and Sexuality in Information Studies Colloquium

June 17-18, 2026
10am-2pm
Online
Sliding Scale

Librarians, archivists, and information workers are on the frontlines of the assault on free speech, academic freedom, dissent, DEI, and the intellectual and creative foundations of social equity. As we convene in 2026 for the fifth Gender and Sexuality in Information Studies Colloquium (GSISC), we seek to explore and celebrate the myriad ways in which lived realities, information practices, and intellectual contributions of queer, trans, non-binary, and other gender and sexually diverse individuals inherently challenge, disrupt, and transform the information landscape in this challenging time.

Registration

This year the registration fee is on a sliding scale. If you have institutional support, we ask that you consider paying the full amount ($50). If you lack institutional supports (as so many of us do currently), please consider donating if possible — but if you cannot donate at this time we understand.

Where does the money go?

All registration fees will be used toward future events. It is our hope that GSISC will again be in-person in the future. Funds raised this year will be spent during our next colloquium (tentatively scheduled for 2028).
