Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
This presentation explores the history of detention centers (concentration camps) in the US and the nuances which have put undocumented QTPOC at risk. The inhumane misgendering of trans womxn, which often places them in “male” detention centers, leads to high rates of physical and psychological abuse; as a community, what are ways we can help support them and eventually abolish these institutions? Trans people are often times the most marginalized people within the LGBTQIA+ community, especially in detention centers.
