The Forgotten History of the World's First Trans Clinic: How Hatred Begins 

November 16, 2023 – Thurs 4:00-5:15 PM

To Attend: Register at this link.

Please join us for this virtual event, and share with others who might be interested in attending. COE Students: This event supports teachers' subject area knowledge related to two NJDOE mandates: Holocaust education, and the history of disabled and LGBT persons. A PD hour certificate is available for teachers who attend. 

Author and historian Dr. Brandy Schillace will give a talk and lead a discussion based on her article in the Scientific American: "The Forgotten History of the World's First Trans Clinic". Dr. Brandy Schillace is an author, historian, show host, and Editor of the Medical Humanities Journal. Her next nonfiction book, The Intermediaries, will tell the forgotten, daring history of the interwar Institute of Sexology in Berlin: trans activists, the first gender-affirming surgeries, and the fight for LGBTQ rights in the shadow of the Nazi Third Reich. 

This presentation is part of the WPU Office for Student Diversity and Inclusion's Transgender & Non-Binary Awareness Week. It is free and open to the public but requires registration. See the attached flyer for more details.
