Transgender Rights in the 21st Century

March 2, 2016 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Reynolds House Coffeehouse

Noah E. Lewis, attorney-at-law, will be speaking on the state of transgender rights in the United States in the 21st Century.

Lewis founded a New York City-based law practice working to ensure equal access to health care for transgender individuals through challenging denials of insurance coverage for transgender-related care. He has previously worked for the Transgender Law Center, the National LGBTQ Task Force, and served as the staff attorney at Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund for five years.

Noah is a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh and was the first openly transgender student to graduate from Harvard Law School. There he worked successfully to eliminate trans health exclusions in student and staff health plans.

On March 2nd, in Campus Hall 201 at 6:00 pm, there will be the screening of the movie "Deserto Rosso" (Red Desert, 1961) by Michelangelo Antonioni.

Considered one of the masterpieces of Italian Cinema, the movie narrates the story of Giuliana (interpreted by Monica Vitti), a woman who, during a marital crisis, struggles to find meaning in the alienating context of the industrialized city of Ravenna, Italy and in the high class society she is part of.

The movie will be introduced by a historical/critical analysis of Dr. Giuseppe Sorrentino and followed by a discussion. The screening is free and open to all campus community.
