Health & Wellness Week 2020

Historically, transgender and non-binary identities have been viewed by the medical and mental health community as pathological. Although change has occurred, the cultural narratives around transgender and non-binary remain disparaging, disempowering, and marginalizing. Namely, that people with these identities are born in the wrong bodies. Transgender and non-binary people are not immune to internalizing these narratives which often lead to the development of shame and other mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety, to name a few. The goal of this workshop is to utilize countercultural, body positive, and resiliency focused interventions to empower transgender and non binary college students to view their bodies and identities.

Queer Martyrdom: The Religious and Sexual Politics of LGBTQ Inclusion

Dr. Brett Krutzsch presents "Queer Martyrdom: The Religious and Sexual Politics of LGBTQ Inclusion"

This talk will compare the LGBTQ murder that generated the most media attention in the country’s history—the killing of white, gay, college student Matthew Shepard in 1998—with a similar LGBTQ murder that received considerably less attention—the killing of Native American, two-spirit, high school student F.C. Martinez in 2001. We will explore how activists used both deaths for political purposes and why Shepard became a more popular political emblem. We will also consider how religion shaped the activism surrounding their deaths and how LGBTQ activists used religion to promote greater acceptance of queer Americans.


About the speaker:

Dr. Brett Krutzsch is a scholar in the Center for Religion and Media at NYU. He is an expert on LGBTQ politics and religion in the United States. He is the author of the 2019 book Dying to Be Normal: Gay Martyrs and the Transformation of American Sexual Politics from Oxford University Press. His writing has appeared in several scholarly journals as well as The Washington Post, Newsday, The Advocate, and he has been featured on NPR.

Tension & Trauma Release Exercises (or TRE) is a simple yet innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. Created by Dr. David Berceli, PhD, TRE safely activates a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance. We have some yoga mats available, please bring your own if possible.


Lovella Calica is certified by TRE Global Certification Training Program and has liability insurance through Hands-On-Trade.


She started her practice in April of 2014 and finished my training in August of 2015. She has been providing TRE sessions to veterans, civilians, children, women, artists and various other people since that time. Practicing TRE drastically and rapidly improved her life tenfold. She felt that she jumped ahead in therapy about 5 years, without all the talking! As a survivor of childhood trauma she had been weighed down with guilt, anger and anxiety for much of her life. After doing TRE every other day for just one month, she felt great relief from these symptoms, which was even noticeable to peers. She had a new and healthier relationship with her body and felt that the space anxiety was taking in her body had been physically removed.

School of Social Work - Room TBA

This Trans Day of Visibility, come celebrate the varied ways transgender and nonbinary people show up! In this workshop, we'll be talking about things like makeup, clothes, and accessories and how those can affirm one's identity, while acknowledging the barriers that prevent some in the community from presenting their most authentic self.


If you can, wear an article of clothing, accessory, or outfit that validates your identity and get a chance to tell its story! This will be an affirming and celebratory space for however you present, no matter your identity.


This event is free and open to all. There will be an intentional focus on the experiences of transfemminine, AMAB nonbinary, and People of Color and those who identify as such are strongly encouraged to come and to speak if desired.
