"Socio, Political, and Medical Impacts on transgender Health: National Patterns and Local Experience"
Dr. Jay Irwin (Sociology, University of Nebraska at Omaha) & Dr. Christopher Fisher (College of Public Health, University of Nebraska Medical Center)
Transgender identities and related issues continue to gain prominence in the media and public discourse. As more and more transgender persons "come out," there is a need for a deeper understanding of social issues like policies of health care companies, legal documentation, as well as health disparities. Join Drs. Jay Irwin and Christopher Fisher from the Midlands Sexual Health Research Collaborative for a presentation and discussion of the poignant social and health issues faced by transgender persons.
