Workshops/presentations

​

My workshops and presentations provide a way to educate groups about supporting trans and gender diverse people. These can be for libraries, colleges, businesses, or any other group or institution.

​

The base prices below are for online sessions, using Zoom or whatever other platform you prefer (to be hosted by the hiring organization). Fees for in-person sessions will include travel expenses, so contact me to work out details. Travel includes expenses like gas mileage, plane tickets, and hotel, as well as $35/hour for travel time.

​

Some of these sessions have the option of an additional presenter, which I recommend if possible; we're both trans people who bring different areas of expertise and perspectives from our own experiences. Kalani Adolpho (they/them or he/him) is a mixed Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) non-binary trans archivist. They are the Processing Archivist for Manuscripts & Archives Management at University of Miami Libraries, and a former diversity resident librarian of University of Wisconsin-Madison. He holds a B.A. in History and an MLIS from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Kalani writes and presents on Indigenous and trans and gender diverse description issues in libraries, as well as trans and gender diverse inclusion more broadly. They are especially interested in Indigenous gender systems.

Finally, participants will gain practical guidance on gender inclusive behavior as well as tools to continue learning. This is a one-hour presentation, including Q&A.
