On Thursday, January 24th and Friday, January 25th, 2019, we are pleased to co-host a Conference Program comprising critical conversations, panels, and presentations, on Reframing Transgender Violence.

Reframing Transgender Violence is the final public workshop of the Reframing Gendered Violence project at the Center for the Study of Social Difference at Columbia University. Reframing Gendered Violence opens up a critical global conversation among scholars and practitioners that recasts the problem of violence against women as it is currently discussed in a wide range of fields, both academic and policy-oriented, including human rights, public health, journalism, law, feminist studies, literature, sociology, religious studies, anthropology, and history.
