Trans and Gender-Nonconforming Lives
This event has concluded. Vincent Pak, a graduate student at the Department of English Language and Literature and GSRC Cluster Member has written a blog post about the discussion. We have also worked with the speakers to include their responses to the Q&A questions that were not answered due to time constraints. Additionally, we have compiled a list of useful resources on the topic. All can be found in the Cluster's blog here.
