340 Dr Jesse Hooley - Transgender Activism: Past and Present


Listen Later

Jesse reflects on the way her activism has shifted over the years, and the people who were fundamental to her work and life.


Dr Jesse Hooley is a 78er and was part of the Transgender Liberation Coalition in the 90s – a story she’ll be sharing with you tonight. Jesse went on to an academic career, teaching sociology, and having retired recently, she has devoted her energies once more to trans activism, as well as watercolour painting.
