Trainer Spotlight: Mathew Kent

Mathew (any pronouns) is the Carleton University Safer Space Program (CUSSP) facilitator with the Department of Equity and Inclusive Communities (EIC). Mathew graduated from the Neuroscience and Mental Health Honours program in 2017 and is currently working towards their master’s in Neuroscience.

Mathew’s primary duty is to oversee the CUSSP, which is an important university-wide initiative to reduce the impact of homophobia, transphobia, and heterosexism on campus and increase the visibility of supportive people and positive spaces for the LGBTQ2S+ community on campus.

They this through facilitating CUSSP training workshops, which serve as an introduction to 2SLGBTQ+ issues and allyship for members of the Carleton community. Through these workshops, they are able to help students, faculty, and staff better understand the 2SLGBTQ+ community, the challenges they face, and begin exploring practical ways they can be an ally to the 2SLGBTQ+ community on campus.
