The LGBTQ+ Intergenerational Dialogue Project, founded in 2019, brings together racially, socioeconomically, and gender diverse cohorts of LGBTQ+ college students and older adults (60+), for a year-long series of bi-weekly themed dialogues, creative work, and shared dinners. This community-engaged project has expanded to include two university classes centering the role of intergenerational dialogue and collaborative art making in learning LGBTQ+ histories. The project has also developed an interdisciplinary research component exploring the impact of intergenerational dialogues on LGBTQ+ people’s well-being and social-connectedness. This work bridges generations to showcase the knowledge and importance of sustaining and creating intergenerational LGBTQ+ communities.
