[Grin] Gender Variant and Trans Students in Hampshire Theater

[Hamlet Cooper]

Hello, 

I am writing to you because you have either expressed interest or I
thought you might be interested in a discussion about how the Hampshire
Theater department and community can be made more inclusive of gender
variant and trans students. I am also e-mailing the listserv for the
Gender Identity Resource Network (Grin) in case there are other people
who want to be involved but whom I do not know personally. 

Theater is a place where we open ourselves up and allow ourselves to be
vulnerable. Therefore, it is incredibly important that it be a space
where everyone feels safe. Unsurprisingly, this is not yet true of
Hampshire theater. 

Students: My hope is that this will be a space to share our experiences
and brainstorm ideas for what needs to be done to make Hampshire Theater
a safer space for gender variant and trans students. 

Faculty: You are invited to this space listen. We may also wish for your
perspective on administrative restrictions, what is possible and how the
realm of the possible can be stretched, and your support in
communication with other faculty and staff. 

If you would like to attend this meeting, please fill out this
whenisgood poll http://whenisgood.net/c27cdyb [1] I will send out the
results in a few days. I will send out minutes from this meeting to
anyone who wants to stay involved or informed but could not attend, so
please let me know if you want to keep informed. 

Please email me with any questions or thoughts, 

Hamlet Cooper
