In honour of fold, my office at the university is now advertised as a safe space. Well, it's actually called positive space at this uni, and there is a campaign with rainbow stickers and "positive space" to be put on office doors and I added one
Because, as fun as it is to lol at people that step over the line on the laudable goal or combatting bigotry, I want my students to feel open and comfortable and able to come out of their shells during office hours, I want them to know that their professor is someone who is explciitly saying they are not judged, despite being a white straight male (they know straight as I often use my wife in self deprecating humour in class). Maybe it does nothing. And maybe it helps someone feel more comfortable. So yay safe spaces!
