A conversation LGBTQ+ students and their views on the importance of joining an inclusive employer

Research shows that over 60% of LGBTQ+ graduates go back into the closet when they enter the job market... this interactive panel is designed to hear directly from students, and what they expect from inclusive employers including what organizations can do to help them bring their whole selves to work. We have selected students from across the world to give a voice to the future generation of LGBTQ+ professionals.

Assistant Researcher
Getulio Vargas Foundation Law School's Diversity Program

As a Law student in the University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), I'm an active member of LGBTheusa, the LGBT student association of UERJ's Law School. Believing in interdisciplinary exchange, I am also enrolled in Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio) for a BA in Portuguese. Working with Human Rights as a volunteer since 2012 brought my attention to the importance of working with employers to promote diversity and inclusion in the workplace as well as in other aspects of life. Since 2019 I've been an assistant researcher at the Diversity Program of the Getulio Vargas Foundation's Law School, focusing mostly on gender studies in Law and diversity practices within universities and enterprises. Believing also in the power of change through cultural production, I'm a writer for Revista Subjetiva, New Order and Revista Passaporte and a columnist in the local newspaper of my hometown Voz de S. João. Specialities: Gender Studies, Criminology, Human Rights, Literature, Theory of Law.
