A ground-breaking discovery.

An intimate installation.

Join us on Tuesday, November 12 for ENGENDERING RESISTANCE, an art installation by Sé Sullivan, Ph.D. and the inaugural dialogue between two scholars, Sullivan and Karl Bryant, Ph.D., who shared a childhood experience.

Bryant and Sullivan were childhood research subjects at UCLA’s Gender Identity Research Clinic (1963-1994) where Dr. Richard Green (1936-2019) included them as part of his research on “gender identity disorders.” Both Bryant and Sullivan only discovered the extent of the research produced on them in adulthood. Now, their work turns the lens of analysis on the doctors who studied them as children.

 

 
 

 

CRITICAL DIALOGUE: THE MAKING & UNMAKING OF GENDER IDENTITY IN CHILDHOOD

Nov. 12 | 4:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.
Humanities Gateway 1030

This dialogue will bring together Sullivan and Bryant for the first time in a formal setting to discuss the relationship between their respective experiences as childhood research subjects in the UCLA Gender Identity Research Clinic and their subsequent interventions as adult scholars.

About the speakers:

 

 

Karl Bryant is an associate professor of sociology and women’s, gender and sexuality studies at the State University of New York at New Paltz and was a research subject for 15+ years while growing up as part of the UCLA “Feminine Boy Project.”

 

 

Sé Sullivan is an independent scholar, journeyperson carpenter and performance artist. A self identified Gender Fluid Queer, they are a survivor of the UCLA Gender Identity Research Clinic, who now hopes to shape conversations about the medicalized construction of gender.

 

 

Jeanne Scheper, associate professor of gender and sexuality studies, will moderate the discussion.

 

This event is co-sponsored by the Department of Art, School of Humanities, UCI Humanities Center: Borders & Belonging, School of Social Sciences, Office of Inclusive Excellence, and Womxn’s Hub.
