keynote speech
Expanding the Circle: Creating an Inclusive Environment in Higher Education for LGBTQ Students & Studies
San Francisco
28 February 2010

The oft-quoted slogan of the women's movement in the 1960s and 1970s was that "the personal is political," and so I would like to commence by situating myself in the context of my own activism and academic background. After describing my current advocacy work in New York, I will then attempt to articulate a program by which we could advance transgender inclusion in the academy — what I will call 'transgendering' the academy.
