In the second episode of Making Queer History Public, we talk with psychotherapist, teacher, and activist, Michelle Esther O’Brien. We discuss the work Michelle has put in coordinating the NYC Trans Oral History Project, a community archive devoted to the collection, preservation and sharing of trans histories.  Making Queer History Public is sponsored by a Humanities New York Action Grant. Learn more about the NYC Trans Oral History Project, and access their archive, here.
