To close Pride Month 2024, The Academica Forum featured Dr. Tommy Mayberry’s article “Being Queer in Canadian Academia” at the top of their “Today Top Ten in Higher Ed” feature for Friday, June 28th, 2024. This article, a version of which the YU + TFS community first got to see at the beginning of Pride Month as a blog post, now takes national stage as part of Academica’s living archives.
