Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program, University of Montana

Join us as we welcome Dr. Brandy Shillace for three events during Pride to discuss her book The Intermediaries. From the Norton website:

The fascinating history of a daring team of sexologists who built the first trans clinic in the shadow of the Third Reich.

Set in interwar Germany, The Intermediaries tells the forgotten story of the Institute for Sexual Science, the world’s first center for homosexual and transgender rights. Headed by a gay Jewish man, Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld, the institute aided in the first gender-affirming surgeries and hormone treatments, acting as a rebellious base of operations in the face of rising prejudice, nationalism, and N**i propaganda.

Don’t miss this amazing lecture tonight. Dr. Davis’s book and research are so important today. For us missoulians, her work analyzes anti-abortion terrorism by focusing on the 1993 fire-bombing that destroyed Missoula’s Blue Mountain Clinic.
