The Intersection of Transgender Health and Education for Diversity
Due to the marginalization of transgender people, having basic health needs met is a barrier for those who identify as trans. Because overall well-being and physical health needs are not being met, civic health/civic well-being and a trans person's quality of life are directly connected. This presentation will explore techniques to be more inclusive in and out of the classroom, as well as ways to actively support trans people as they strive to address their basic health care needs.
When: Monday, July 10, 12:00PM - 1:00PM
Where: ECC, School of Social Work Building
