Author Talk: Transgender Australia, A History Since 1910 with Noah Riseman and Sally Goldner

Event Description

Join us in celebrating the history of gender diverse Australians and the release of Professor Noah Riseman's (He/Him) new book: 'Transgender Australia: A History Since 1910', with Noah and activist Sally Goldner (She/Her).

Trans and gender diverse people have always been present in Australian life, whether they've lived quiet lives in the country, performed in cabaret shows or run for parliament. But over the last century there have been remarkable changes in how they have identified and expressed themselves.

'Transgender Australia' is the first book to chart the changing social, medical, legal and lived experiences of trans and gender diverse people in Australia since 1910.

Drawing on over a hundred oral history interviews and previously unexamined documents and media reports, the book highlights how trans people have tried to live authentically while navigating a society that often treated trans people like outcasts.

Join us for this discussion with Noah and Sally in an open and inclusive space.
