SUMMARY:INQYR Beyond Limits: The Conference — Mobilizing innovative global social research for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth joy and resilience
DESCRIPTION:The International Partnership for Queer Youth Resilience (INQYR) invites researchers\, students\, practitioners\, community organizations\, and young people to join INQYR Beyond Limits: The Conference 2026. \nThis is a one-day in-person conference to advance knowledge and action with and for 2SLGBTQIA+ young people. The event will take place on October 2nd in Toronto\, Canada\, at the Chelsea Hotel. It is built on the belief that the strongest knowledge is made together\, across research\, practice\, community\, and lived experience\, and that this knowledge can and should drive real change. \n \nKeynote Speaker: Dr. Ilan H. Meyer\, PhD\nINQYR is beyond thrilled to welcome Dr. Ilan H. Meyer as its opening keynote speaker for INQYR 2026: Beyond Limits. \nDr. Meyer is the originator of the minority stress model\, one of the most widely cited frameworks in LGBTQ health research. His foundational work describes how stigma\, prejudice\, and discrimination produce health disparities in sexual and gender minority populations\, and has shaped decades of research\, policy development\, and legal advocacy at the highest levels\, including expert testimony in Perry v. Schwarzenegger\, the federal case that overturned California’s Proposition 8. \nDr. Meyer’a talk\, Minority Stress and the Health of LGBTQ Populations: Insights from Current Research and Future Directions\, will trace the development of the minority stress model and its core elements\, present findings on generational shifts in stress exposure and health outcomes\, and address what persistent disparities and the current sociopolitical landscape mean for the future of this research. \nCall for Proposals\nINQYR Beyond Limits invites work that challenges disciplinary\, geographic\, methodological\, and institutional boundaries. \nSubmissions from community partners\, practitioners\, and students are encountered alongside academic and scholarly work. \nDeadline: April 30\, 2026 \nVisit INQYR’s website to learn more about the conference and how to submit an abstract.\n
