Unwavering Humanity

Looking to get involved in one of our student organizations? Please come out to one of our two Student Organization Showcases to learn more:

• Wednesday, September 6th 4:30- 6pm via Zoom
• Thursday, September 7th 11:30-1pm, 2nd Floor Passano Lobby, HE

The LHGSA (Latinx/ Hispanic Graduate Student Association) invites you to attend our first main event to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, hosted at Passano Lobby on September 27th from 4:30 to 6pm. 

Come to say hi to your community. We want to celebrate our culture and what it means to be a Latino in today's business world. We will briefly talk with a panel of Baltimore, JHU, and public Latin leaders on what it means to be a Latino in their roles. Latin music, and Latin food will be provided. If you want to know more about this event and many to come, join LGSA as member here! 

The members of the committee will organize (1) a Trans Narrative Project during the Fall semester, presenting trans visions and narratives at JHU, and (2) the Day of Trans Visibility Event, focusing on trans worlds in the university, held at JHU in Spring 2024.

The trans narrative project provides a platform to the JHU trans community and allies not only to voice their experiences thus contributing to the creation of a more just environment, but also to express their wishes, demands, and visions for the future of the university by making short video interviews, gathering art submissions, and writing a (critical and/or creative) collective report, that will be available online on the university Gender & Sexuality Resources webpage.

Members of the committee can also get involved in the organization of the Trans Day of Visibility Event in Spring 2024, which will present and share the trans narrative project as well as offer a space for reflections and discussions on the expectations that the trans communities and their allies have for the university.
Some of the talks from last year conference, Destitution and Power: The Trans Experience, are available here. If you are interested in becoming a member of the committee or participating, and/or want to learn more about these projects, contact our postdoctoral fellow, Elisa Santucci, at esantuc2@jhu.edu or email the project shared email address: trans-versity@jhu.edu.
