Documenting Trans Oral History Workshop and Talk

Join us for a workshop featuring Andrea Jenkins and Myrl Beam from the Minneapolis-based Tretter Transgender Oral History Project, a program committed to collecting, preserving, and making available oral histories of gender transgression, broadly understood through a trans framework.

Public Workshop: "Doing Trans Oral History: Ethics, Politics, and Community-Building" at Impact Hub in Baltimore. This public workshop, led by Jenkins and Beam, is a practical introduction to the process of doing oral history. From intentional community-building, to envisioning projects, to conducting thoughtful and ethical interviews, this is a chance to learn more about the nitty gritty of oral histories and ask all the questions you may have.

Public Talk: "Building Power Through Documenting Trans Oral Histories" at Bird in Hand in Baltimore. In this public talk, Jenkins and Beam will share lessons from their work with the Tretter Transgender Oral History Project, reflecting on the power of storytelling to help build movements for justice that enable trans lives to flourish.
