Trans Technologies
A lecture by Oliver Haimson, University of Michigan School of Information
Tuesday, September 16, 2025
Preston Theater
3:30 pm EDT/GMT-4
Mainstream technologies often exclude or marginalize transgender users. Trans Technologies describes what happens when trans people take technology design into their own hands. Oliver L. Haimson, whose research into gender transition and technology has defined this area of study, draws on transgender studies and his own in-depth interviews with more than 100 creators of technology, including apps, games, health resources, extended reality systems, and supplies, to explain what trans technology is and to explore its present possibilities and limitations, as well as its future prospects.3:30 pm EDT/GMT-4
Join us for tea and conversation with Oliver Haimson!
Enjoy an informal discussion in the Preston Study Lounge (Room 122) at 2:30 PM, before the main talk.
