20sep5:00 pm8:00 pmCHANGING GENDER Susan Stryker in an eye-opening conversation with Julia Golda Harris

Event Details

Join acclaimed writer and scholar Susan Stryker for a conversation about gender, identity, and the ongoing work of changing how we understand ourselves and one another.

Join us for an evening with Susan Stryker, in conversation with Julia Golda Harris, at Val’s Lesbian Bar in Philadelphia.

Stryker will discuss CHANGING GENDER, a wide-ranging conversation about the complexities of gender, the histories that shape our understanding of identity, and the possibilities that emerge when we challenge the categories we have inherited.

Known for her influential writing on transgender history, culture, and theory, Stryker brings a critical and deeply engaged perspective to questions of gender and embodiment. In conversation with Julia Golda Harris, the evening will explore the ways gender changes—and how changing gender can change the world around us.

Come join us for an intimate conversation at Val’s Lesbian Bar, with space to connect, listen, and think together about gender, identity, and transformation.

Susan Stryker’s historical research, theoretical writings, media-making, activism, and academic field-building activities have helped shape the conversation on trans issues since the early 1990s. Stryker retired from the University of Arizona in 2020 and currently holds a distinguished visiting appointment at Stanford University’s Michelle Clayman Institute for Gender Research. She is the author of many academic and general audience works, including Transgender History. She lives in San Francisco.

Julia Golda Harris is a scholar of LGBT history and co-owner of Val’s Lesbian Bar. She writes the newsletter Dyke Domesticity and is working on her first book, which traces the history of trans participation in lesbian feminist communities during the 1970s.
