Advancing Transgender Health through Children’s Literature

 

Group: Maricar Almeda ’22, Matthew Chao ’23, Beata Corcoran ’22, Hannah Faughnan ’23

Community Partner: Gender Center of New Jersey at RWJMS

Our group worked in collaboration with the Gender Center of NJ, that has strong input from the Rutgers University Libraries. The Center is closely affiliated with both the Rutgers RWJMS Women’s Health Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital-New Brunswick to create a community resource in the form of a detailed compilation of children’s literature, which explores topics of gender and identity with the hope of helping parents and families of transgender youth connect more effectively with their loved ones.
