Jules Gill-Peterson Book Talk, Histories of the Transgender Child

October 10, 2019 - 4:30pm to 5:30pm

Children's Lit professor Jules Gill-Peterson will be talking about her book, Histories of the Transgender Child, on October 10 from 4:30-5:30 p.m. in Hillman Library's Thornburgh Room. This book shatters the pervasive myth that transgender children are a brand new generation by uncovering a previously unknown early twentieth-century history.
