Abstract: This workshop focuses on the methods developed for transgender awareness and sensitivity training for staff and faculty at Michigan State University, using materials in a short form of a training session. Our approach is grounded in becoming aware of and sensitive to gender diversity at all levels.
Brent Bilodeau: is the Assistant for LBG&T concerns in the Office of Multicultural Development at MSU, a position made full-time in the summer of 1997. Brent works with the Alliance of Lesbian, Bi, Gay, and Trans Students and the Homophobia Action Group, and does awareness and sensitivity training around campus. Lisa Lees: is a queer-identified transsexual woman who has been very active in transgender concerns on the MSU campus and in the surrounding area. She has also written for regional publications, has a chapter in an upcoming book, and spoke at the University of Chicago during B-GLAD in 1997. [Kate Murphy also helped present this session.]
The session was a shortened version of the training method we had used several times at MSU, including most of these materials. Sorry, but I do not have an outline for this session online. About fifteen people attended this workshop.
