The University of Iowa’s student & community group TransCollaborations is proud to present the third annual TransWeek during the week of November 6th-13th, 2011. This year’s line-up of educational and outreach events will include film screenings, poetry, dancing, workshops, collaborative art projects, and discussions that explore and deconstruct gender, in its many forms.
TransWeek provides excellent opportunities for our academic and cultural communities to be more inclusive of all gender identities. We seek to host programs and events this year that reaches out to other oppressed and under-represented groups AND challenges everyone to grapple with inter-sectional forms of oppression. All events are free and open to the public. Check out the UI LGBTRC web site for a full schedule and descriptions of each event.
