This Professional Development Workshop (PDW), inspired by the popular Queer Eye series, offers a fresh approach to skill-sharing within academia. The workshop features early-career scholars from the LGBTQ+ community who draw on their experiences to share professional development skills relevant to navigating academic life. It covers a variety of practical skills, ranging from traditional academic tasks (e.g., teaching, crafting a research program, and delivering presentations) to (inter)personal development (e.g., building confidence to speak up, fostering caring relations, and recognizing colleagues). While ‘queer’ is often primarily understood in relation to sex and gender expression. This workshop embraces that spirit, using it as a lens to build bridges in a light-hearted and fun way—showcasing how we can all learn from each other’s journeys, no matter where we land on the spectrum. In an era where debates within and beyond academia can feel increasingly fragmented and divisive, we believe fostering connection and finding ways to bridge divides is more vital than ever.
