Transgressed: A Discussion by Xavier Guadalupe-Diaz

Description

Xavier Guadalupe-Diaz, Ph.D., writes, 25 transpeople were murdered in 2019. Why? Is intimate partner violence a problem for men to deal with or for women? Or is it more complicated? How do we understand the violence in our most intimate relationships?

Guadalupe-Diaz, an alum of VCU's Department of Sociology, with a certificate in gender violence intervention, presents his original research into violence against transgender people, the focus of his new book Transgressed, then engages in a dialogue with the audience. A book sale and signing follows the presentation.
