The Out to Lunch Gender, Sexuality, and Community is a weekly academic lecture and discussion series with guest scholars and community activists from various disciplines examining a variety of topics related to gender identity, gender expression, and sexuality. Each semester offers a broad sampling of the areas.
The Fall 2019 semester is co-sponsored by the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Department (http://wgss.uconn.edu).
Today's lecture is entitled, "Two Spirit Identities: What Indigenous Culture Teaches Us About All Queer & Trans People" and will be presented by Misty Ginicola (she/her/hers).
Synopsis: Indigenous culture not only accepted Queer and Trans persons, it celebrated them. They were seen and respected as gifts to their culture, blessed with leadership, wisdom, spirituality, and empathy. This presentation will discuss indigenous culture, as well as the lived experience of being a two-spirit person, of being a parent to a two-spirit child.
