Trans awareness training (online)

Catherine Atkinson

This session provides a conversational, non-judgmental space to increase confidence and familiarity around trans issues, and to learn how to create a positive experience for trans students and staff in higher education. We’ll cover the basics of trans identities and related terminology alongside practical aspects of trans inclusivity, including social interactions, supporting trans students pastorally, trans-inclusive pedagogy, and signalling that your university is a trans-friendly institution. Attendees will have the chance to ask questions and discuss problems specific to their area of work, and there will also be an opportunity to ask anonymous questions.
