LGBT+ History - Kit Heyam - Rethinking trans history

Join writer and historian Kit Heyam to discuss their latest book Before We Were Trans: A New History of Gender – a global history of gender nonconformity and a call for new approaches to trans history. Kit will read from the book and talk about the ideas that inspired it, as well as sharing stories of trans history from across the world. From York to Angola, Before We Were Trans shows us that people have always been doing fascinating, creative, messy things with gender, and inspires new ways to think about our past.

This event is open to all Durham University staff and students.
