Trans is Black and Black is Trans?

In celebration of Black History Month, the Mellon-funded “We Are the Voices” public arts and humanties series and the Mills College Trans Studies Speakers Series are pleased to welcome Professor Rod Ferguson of Yale University (Aberrations in Black: Toward a Queer of Color Critique) and Professor C. Riley Snorton of University of Chicago (Black on Both Sides: A Racial History of Trans Identity). They will be in discussion with Susan Stryker, Barbara Lee Distinguished Chair in Women’s Leadership, on the emergence of Black Trans Studies, the Black Trans Lives Matter Movement, and Black Trans Histories.
