Chicago: American billionaire philanthropist Jennifer Pritzker has donated $US2 million ($2.9 million) to a Canadian university to establish a chair of transgender studies, believed to be the only such research position in global academia.
The funding for the University of Victoria in British Columbia comes from Pritzker's Tawani Foundation. Half of the money will support the chair position for five years, and the other half is pledged to match other donations to the program.
