A Lot Done, A Lot More to Do? Trans People and the Law

The Hate and Hostility Research Group is delighted to announce its first seminar for the academic year 2015/2016: “A Lot Done, A Lot More To Do: Trans People and the Law”.

The three guests will participate in an open discussion led by Jennifer Schweppe, HHRG, University of Limerick and will discuss issues such as the legal recognition of young trans, non-binary and intersex people, the issue of ‘gender reassignment’ in the context of the equality legislation, and the scope of protection offered by that legislation in the context of gender identity and gender expression, and transphobic hate crime and the need for change in the law.
