Discover the Bay Area’s rich LGBTQ+ history and cultural heritage in an interactive, in-person course that explores the places that preserve it. Through lectures, workshops and group projects, members will discover how built and natural environments embody stories of the LGBTQ+ past, explore efforts to identify and interpret these historic places, and learn practical skills for finding, documenting and sharing stories of queer and trans history.
