Core Webinar: Anti-Trans Bias and the New Federal Paradigm
CHICAGO — Join Core for the webinar "Anti-Trans Bias and the New Federal Paradigm" on August 26, 2026, at 1 p.m. CDT. Anti-transgender rhetoric has been spreading for many years, but the inauguration on January 20, 2025 marked a sea-change in the sociopolitical situation and information ecosystem around trans Americans. This session will offer a comprehensive rundown of our new federal paradigm and discuss its impacts on trans people as well as on libraries, library workers, patrons, services, and librarianship as a profession. Please note that the presentation will focus on providing education and ethical guidance, rather than on hard policy prescriptions.
