Talk and exhibit by Spencer J. Harrison

Following the business portion of RSO's Annual General meeting we will welcome our Special Guest Speaker, Spencer J. Harrison, accomplished artist, activist, and educator . A former Peterborough resident, Spencer is presently completing his PhD at OISE/ University of Toronto, focusing his research around growing up gay in rural Ontario.

Spencer's talk, "When They Called Me Freak-Show in High School, What Did They Really Mean?" will give you some insight into the research he is doing and the unusual methods of presenting his results.

In addition to his talk, Spencer will be giving us a sneak peek into the beginning stages of his research through part of an exhibit slated for the Peterborough Art Gallery at the completion of his PhD work. The exhibit will be on display during the AGM and also on Saturday July 4th from noon until 4pm at Artspace.

The business part of the AGM will run from 7 to 7:45 and include reports on what RSO has been up to, financial report, and election of board members.
