Slide Presentation & Panel Discussion: "Transfigurations" The award-winning photodocumentary by Jana Marcus
Location: University Room
In large black and white images with text, Marcus' photographs focus on what it means to be a man and a woman, by people who have transitioned to the opposite sex, blurring the lines of gender separation, stereotyping, and discovering cultural influences. (edit) A slide show of the 60-piece national award-winning exhibition will be shown. Marcus will be on hand with participants of the show to give a lecture and Q&A on the making of the project and its impact.

Panel Participants: Beth, Kara, Lyle and Stephan

6:00 - 7:00pm
Film Screening -
Diagnosing Difference
Location: Engineering Building, Room 189

Historically, non-trans medical and mental health care professionals have positioned themselves as the "experts" on transgender experience, creating standards, guidelines, and diagnoses that inform legal policies and mediate every aspect of life.  Diagnosing Difference shifts the focus to explore the many complexities of the diagnosis from the perspectives of those it affects most directly and
personally, including access to medical care, legal ramifications, social stigma, implications for psychotherapeutic care, treatment trauma, and differences in experience based on factors like race, class, gender orientation, and generation.

Complimentary snacks and refreshments provided.
This is a free event.
