Moving Trans History Forward 2014
Despite the presence of trans* models in major glossy magazines and new school policies on gender identity, not enough is known about the history of early advocates. From March 21-23, 2014, an international gathering of people working to retrieve and preserve the stories and records of trans* pioneers of the early 1960s and beyond took place at the University of Victoria.
Moving Trans* History Forward was a three-day symposium on transgender research and activism. It included keynote speakers, panel presentations and workshops, a film screening of TRANS: The Movie and art exhibitions, and will bring together scholars, activists, allies, educators and community members.
