LGBT+ visibility and mainstream acceptance of queer identity have come a long way in recent years, but diverse concepts of gender and sexual identity are not new. Archaeological and historical records from ancient and pre-modern civilizations show evidence that many cultures have embraced concepts of gender outside the binary.
Broaden your understanding of LGBT+ presence throughout history with scholars from across the Penn Museum and University, joined by our friends at the Penn LGBT Center. A panel of experts, including Dr. Abdulhamit Arvas, Assistant Professor of English, Eduardo Carrera, Ph.D. Candidate at Penn History of Art, and Dr. Shelby Justl, Egyptologist and Visiting Assistant Professor at Bryn Mawr College, illuminate how diverse cultures have recognized and revered more than two genders. Following the discussion, continue the conversation with light refreshments.
