Fall 2017 Events

Join us in welcoming Z Nicolazzo (pronouns: ze/hir) to campus. Ze will join us for Transgender Awareness Week on Monday, November 13th. Ze is an assistant professor in the Adult and Higher Education program, and a faculty associate in the Center for the Study of Women, Gender, and Sexuality, both at Northern Illinois University. Hir research focuses on mapping gender across college contexts, with a particular emphasis on affirmative and resilience-based research alongside trans* students. Ze recently published a book titled Trans* in College: Transgender Students’ Strategies for Navigating Campus Life and the Institutional Politics of Inclusion.

Please join the Spectrum Center and oSTEM for a panel of professors, graduate students and professionals who will discuss their experiences, challenges and hopes surrounding being trans/non-binary while working and studying in the field of STEM. There will be an opportunity for a short Q&A at the end. Light refreshments will be provided.
