The Queer and Trans Research Lab (QTRL) is pleased to invite applications for its Community Leadership Residency Program. The program will provide 1-2  year-long residencies to community leaders and activists working on social and political problems affecting LGBTQ2S+ and BIPOC lives and communities.  The residents will work on a project of their choice that addresses social inequality in LGBTQ2S+ QTBIPOC communities. This can be a project they are already working on in their communities. Successful applicants will also actively participate in a variety of events, such as presentations, class visits, workshops, panels, and meetings at the Mark S. Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies.

Community Leaders in Residence will receive a stipend of $15,000. In addition, the Bonham Centre will provide up to $5,000 in support for project resources, subject to university policies and guidelines. The residency will take place from September 2024 – June 2025. This residency does not include benefits and cannot provide donations to any charitable organization.

Successful applicants are expected to be residents of the Greater Toronto Area or interested in relocating here during the time of their residency. During the period of their award, they will join the faculty and students who make up the QTRL and participate in the Bonham Centre’s activities. They will be given office space and access to the faculty resources, archives, and library collections available at the University of Toronto and the Bonham Centre.
