Susan Stryker, a historian, filmmaker and theorist whose work has been influential in determining the direction of the emerging field of transgender studies, will visit Bryn Mawr next week.
After meeting with students in two seminars in the College’s program in gender and sexuality studies, Stryker will present and discuss her award-winning documentary, Screaming Queens: The Riot at Compton’s Cafeteria on Thursday, Oct. 11, at 4:30 p.m. in Carpenter B21.
Screaming Queens tells the story of a little-known uprising by transgender people in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district in 1966, three years before the famous Stonewall incident in New York.
