- Trans History at American University: A Brief Sketch
- Date
- 2021-12-08
- Creator
- Ferguson, Matt; Masson, Stephen; Zurn, Perry
- Description
- This chronology of trans history at American University aims to uncover the untold story of trans life on campus. The chronology highlights materials addressing transgender experience, transgender activism, transgender research, and transgender policy, as it intersects with the larger transgender rights movement and policy changes at both the American University and and national levels. This was researched and created by Dr. Perry Zurn, Matt Ferguson, and Stephen Masson during spring 2019 in fulfillment of an Inclusive Excellence Mini-Grant. Zurn, Ferguson, and Masson consulted archival records housed in the American University Library -- Archives and Special Collections, as well as in the Center for Diversity and Inclusion and the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program office. The chronology was updated in fall 2021. If you have additional information about the history of trans life at AU, feel free to contact Perry Zurn (pzurn@american.edu).
