Trans Talk Tuesday

Location:

Zoom – Contact Facilitator for Link

In LGBTIQ spaces do you feel like the T is left out?
Would you like to connect with folks around topics of gender identity and gender expression?
Are you questioning your gender identity and hoping to talk to other questioning folks?
Would you like to share your knowledge and expertise in regards to navigating systems that don’t often recognize diversity within gender?

Join the LGBTQ Center’s peer support/discussion group for campus and community members that identify as transgender, genderqueer, or gender-questioning. This space is meant to provide community and connection amongst folks on the basis of gender identity. All students, staff, faculty, community members with these identities are welcome.
Note to Allies
We have been asked if allies are welcome. As this space is not meant to be an educational space where people have to explain their identities, we ask that people who do not identify as part of the transgender community (i.e., cisgender allies) not attend. Instead, please consider taking advantage of our educational programs and/or resources for supportive families or friends.
Accommodations for Social Distancing
Trans Talk Tuesday will be moving online for now. We’ll be meeting the first and third Tuesdays at 6:30 (NOT 6:15 like we usually do) on Zoom, a videoconferencing platform with an online, desktop, and mobile app. If you’d like to receive the Zoom info each week, please sign up for the Trans Talk Tuesday email list by emailing the facilitator, Anole, at anole.halper@gmail.com.

Alan Jacobs
The Alan Jacobs Memorial Lecture
Alan Jacobs passed away in February 2016 from complications of cardiac amyloidosis. Prior to his diagnosis, Alan led a successful career in film spanning over 40 years. Beginning in the 1960s, he produced documentary films supporting the civil rights and feminist movements and critiquing the Vietnam War. Alan held executive positions at the Trans-Lux Corporation and Hallmark Entertainment Company, where he produced films for television; and board positions at both Sundance Film Festival, of which he was a founding member, and The American Film Institute. In his later years, Alan taught cinematic history and film production at California State University, Long Beach. As impactful as his professional accomplishments was Alan’s character. Those fortunate to know him enjoyed his intellect, warmth, and humor.
Alan spent his last years in North Carolina and was a patient at UNC Hospitals. Throughout his illness Alan maintained an interest in the science of his condition and a firm belief in the importance of humanism in patient care, including end-of-life care. One of Alan’s final wishes was to establish a lectureship at the UNC School of Medicine to support the kind of compassionate care that he was so fortunate to receive.
The Department of Medicine is grateful for the generous donation by Alan’s family to establish the Alan Jacobs Memorial Lecture.
