This fall the Office of Health Equity and Inclusion and Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library (EHSL) are co-sponsoring the reading of:  The Remedy, edited by Zena Sharman. Starting on September 20th the community is invited to gather at NOON in the lower level of EHSL, enjoy a light lunch, and have a lively discussion of the book.

The Remedy: Queer and Trans Voices on Health and Health Care invites writers and readers to imagine what we need to create healthy, resilient, and thriving LGBTQ communities. This anthology is a diverse collection of real-life stories from queer and trans people on their own health care experiences and challenges, from gay men living with HIV who remember the systemic resistance to their health care needs, to a lesbian couple dealing with the experience of cancer, to young trans people who struggle to find health care providers who treat them with dignity and respect. The book also includes essays by health care providers, activists, and leaders, with something to say about the challenges, politics, and opportunities surrounding queer and trans health issues.

Check out the online LibGuide for information about the authors, further reading, as well as for links to the Lunch RSVPs.  Copies of the book will be available for check out at the EHSL Main Level Service Desk.
