HOT TAKE is a QT* research collective, specifically made for LGBTQIA+ nerds and curious cuties, embracing non-academic and/or neurodivergent types of learning. The aim of the group is to dive into specific and weirder research holes of the people joining, the ones that otherwise don’t really see the light. Per session, one person or collective is invited to take the lead on being the host and moderator. Methods/mediums are super flexible, like for example stuff to read, videos, graphs, memes, lectures to watch
