We are becoming increasingly aware of transgender issues – not least in the Humanities Division, where a high percentage of trans identifying student respondents to the recent Oxford Student Union Trans Report hail from. Dr Clara Barker, a high profile transwoman in the University, is running a workshop to help staff answer some key questions. What does it mean to be transgender? Why are people trans? What do all the different terms mean? What can I ask and what should I avoid? Dr Barker covers the basics and aims to answer all your questions in this transgender 101. Oxford SU representatives will discuss the Trans Report and student experiences.

Lunch is provided.
