Built from Within: A Conversation about the Museum of Transology and Building Community-First Methodologies

E-J Scott and Anna Woten discuss building community-first methodologies and collecting strategies based on their combined decades of experience with international trans history initiatives. The conversation is largely focused through the lens of the Museum of Transology, the largest collection of material culture relating to trans, non-binary and intersex lives in the UK, and the American Alliance of Museums’ Gender Transition and Transgender Inclusion in the Museum Workplace toolkit.
