Core Webinar: Anti-Trans Bias and the New Federal Paradigm

Date: Wednesday, August 26, 2026

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.



Description:

Anti-transgender rhetoric has been spreading for many years, but the
inauguration on January 20, 2025 marked a sea-change in the sociopolitical
situation and information ecosystem around trans Americans. This session
will offer a comprehensive rundown of our new federal paradigm and discuss
its impacts on trans people as well as on libraries, library workers,
patrons, services, and librarianship as a profession.

Learning outcomes:

As the end of this session, participants will be able to:

   -

   Understand the current sociopolitical context around trans people
   nationally, and how it relates to the sociopolitical condition of library
   work.


   -

   Explore the ethical considerations and professional values that library
   workers, and librarianship as a profession, can use for guidance moving
   forward.
   -

   Identify potential action steps to implement on the individual,
   institutional, and professional levels.


Who should attend?

This webinar is geared toward a general audience of library workers, and
especially library workers in leadership, supervisory, and/or
administrative positions.

Presenters:

Heath Umbreit is Adult Services Librarian at Morrill Memorial Library in
Norwood, MA.
