Screening Information

 * Title:Against a Trans Narrative
 * Location:FPH MLH
 * Description:"How do we construct present-day personal and historical narratives that affect generations to come? How does a sense of community impact our notions of identity? Jules Rosskam's film functions as a springboard for these questions, focusing on emerging trans-masculine (female-to-male) communities. Working on the front lines of transgender identity politics, against a trans narrative interrogates the dominant constructions of trans-masculinity that color — and perhaps hinder — self-expressions of difference and belonging." Given Hampshire's large queer population and understandings of intersectional identities, and in light of the recurring violence against trans bodies this film and discussion with the director is extremely relevant to the community. – Alicia Eler

Events

 * Name of Event: Anti-Classism Mini Conference
 * Date of the event (best approximate possible): March 25
 * Projected Attendance: 60
 * Description of Event: This mini conference will be aimed at addressing issues of classism both within the context of Hampshire's campus, and a much larger framework. It will consist of a panel of three speakers from the surrounding community, and a day of student led workshops. The goal will be to give students more access to language and resources to think about class and its intersectional nature. We would like to sponsor an open mic to finish off the event, with a performer who's work deals with the themes of the conference.
 * Description of Performer (if applicable): Three panelists: Dean Spade- Founder of the Sylvia Rivera Law Project, author, and trans activist  Also, Someone from Class Action in Northampton, and a faculty member with a relevant field of study.  For the open mic we would like to bring queer performance artist, U of Iowa Alum, Carson Hines to read from their "One Man Show" about grow up poor in the south.
