Student’s Tea with Ms Sia Ching Sian (Pink Dot)

Host: tFreedom

Ching is currently a PhD student and teaching assistant at the NUS School of Design and Environment, Department of Architecture. She is also the social media correspondent and universities liaison for Pink Dot. Her job is to manage social media coverage for Pink Dot activities, as well as to respond to any interviews or news directed at Pink Dot. In addition, she is the key person of contact for university LGBT groups comprising the Inter-University LGBT Network.

Ching will be presenting on history of Pink Dot, how it has expanded throughout the years, and the challenges that were faced while organising such large scale events. She will also be covering on some of the controversies surrounding Pink Dot, such as ‘foreign companies interfering with local politics’ and the ‘wear white movement’.

It is hoped that through this sharing session, students can have a better understanding of the LGBT community and the difficulties the community faces. The session also aims to educate students on the social issues with regard to acceptance of LGBT people in society.
