LOTE V is here! This year’s theme is “Shifting Identities” Join us October 4 – 5th 2025 at Kyoto Sangyo University. This year, our theme acknowledges that we are more than a single story of a stand out nail – each of us lives astride multiple intersective roles and identities, navigating how these interact, collide, and transform within and between us. This year, we invite you to join us to share stories of the multiple hats you weave together. Educators, activists, students, parents, people of various races, languages, abilities, sexualities, genders, minds, professions, values, privileges, positions, powers, religions, and expressions – join us to educate, empower, collaborate, laugh, discuss, connect, and transform.
