The changes have b een so fast and numerous that providers of legal services and the public h ave had trouble keeping up\, as have many trans people. Moreover\, despite these changes\, marginalization and exclusion remain part of the lived re ality of many trans individuals and communities. Questions arise about who remains “on the margins” of trans legal change\, and about the unintended consequences of recent law reforms. \n\nOn the Margins of Trans Legal Cha nge is a two-day symposium that will provide a platform to reflect critica lly on recent legal changes and to consider the challenges facing individu als whom law reform has yet to reach. This symposium will stimulate the de velopment\, exchange\, and translation of interdisciplinary knowledge and community expertise about the aftermath of legal reform and the possibilit ies for social justice with\, and beyond\, the law. We will survey legisla tive\, policy\, and community-based solutions that aim to better recognize and protect diverse trans communities\, and to advance their flourishing. The symposium will showcase analyses of the current Canadian trans legisl ative framework and identify its gaps and unintended consequences. It will also foster and sustain a network of established and emerging scholars\, community advocates\, and legal service providers across Canada.\n\nPartic ipants in the symposium will ask: What can we learn from research evidence and community projects addressing the experiences and perspectives of the populations and individuals whose vulnerabilities\, needs\, or aspiration s legal reforms have failed to meet? What are some of the potential uses a nd misuses of law as a tool for trans emancipation? Which realities and wo rldviews do dominant legal orders erase? Where is there space for transfor mative change?\n DTSTART:20190502T140000Z DTEND:20190502T230000Z LOCATION:CA\, QC\, Montreal\, Maxwell Cohen Moot Court\, 9I Law\, NCGH 10\, 3644 Peel St. SUMMARY:Public Conference: On the Margins of Trans Legal Change URL:/igsf/channels/event/public-conference-margins-tra ns-legal-change-296066 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
