The 2024 VET National Teaching & Learning Conference STARTS TOMORROW and is a SELL-OUT!
Over the past few editions of VDC News, we’ve been highlighting the Keynote Speakers, so let’s introduce Keynote Speaker, Nevo Zisin (they/them) presenting on the topic, The Lowdown on Pronouns.
Nevo is a storyteller, artist, esteemed educator on transgender topics, TEDx speaker, workshop facilitator in schools and workplaces, and award-winning author of Finding Nevo (2017), a memoir on gender transition, and The Pronoun Lowdown (2021), a useful guidebook on all things related to pronouns.
They have been in-conversation with Queer Eye’s brilliant Jonathan Van Ness, Transparent producer Zackary Drucker & world-famous spoken-word poet & activist Alok Vaid-Menon. They were a 2022 Varuna Scribe Fellow and are an ambassador for Wear It Purple.
Their work explores queerness, collective healing and liberation, mutual aid as a mycelial network of connection, reclamation of transgender divinity, finding deeply joyful ways to engage in activism and solidarity, making mistakes and creating a practice of failure. Their identity exists in the breaths between the words they use and their greatest accomplishments in life beyond anything, is their friendships.
You can see Nevo at 10:15 am on Day 2 of the VET National Teaching & Learning Conference.
VDC would like to thank this year’s Conference Sponsors
