Trans Awareness Month


At Mount Holyoke College, we seek to consistently provide education, awareness, support and affirmation for trans and gender non conforming (TGNC) community members throughout the year. In November, we specifically focus on hosting a multitude of programs and support sessions that center the voices of people of trans experience.

The DEI Office has teamed up with various community members, and the LITS Book Display group to compile this collection of work by trans authors, scholars, and activists to uplift trans narratives, ways of knowing, histories, and scholarship!

The display will be in the Library Atrium starting 11/15 or check out the works highlighted at the LITS (Virtual) Book Display Guide.

Co-Sponsors/Collaborators: Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Division of Student Life, Affirming Practices for Trans and Gender Non-Conforming People at Mount Holyoke (TGNC) Working Group, Gender +, Office of Community and Belonging, Counseling Services
