The Department of History is pleased to welcome Professor Laurie Marhoefer (University of Washington) for the 2025 Pierson Lecture: "Trans Berlin: The World's First Trans Politics, Berlin's Queer Golden Age, and the Rise of Fascism, 1918 – 1933."

In 1918, Germany had a democratic revolution. In the fourteen years that followed, Berlin became the most open city in the world for transgender men and women. They organized the world's first trans political groups. They ran magazines for and by trans people. They helped to establish the beginnings of legal and medical transition, working with city police and with Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute for Sexual Science. Then, the Nazis came to power and destroyed trans Berlin. Yet, much of what trans people fought for in the 1920s has become a reality today. This talk explores the fascinating lives of transgender women and men in the 1920s and the world they created.

The Annual Pierson Lecture is a Department of History tradition that spans back to 1993, when it was founded to honor Stan and Joan Pierson. The Piersons were both exemplary citizens of the community, dedicated to history and education as proven by their distinguished records of intellectual accomplishment and community involvement. This lecture series brings distinguished scholars to the University of Oregon, so that they may share their work in alignment with the Piersons’ interests in cultural, intellectual, and political life.

At this event, we encourage LGBTQIA+ students and their allies to exercise their voice through poetry! Students will have the opportunity to create and share poetry centered around a number of themes, including sexual violence and bodily autonomy. We will supply prompts for a free-writing activity, along with supplies. Afterward, folks can share what they’ve created. Bartolotti’s pizza will be provided! 

This event is a part of a series of events for Sexual Assault Awareness Month hosted by Sexual Violence Prevention and Education (SVPE). 

"Remembering Queer and Trans of Color Resistance at Stonewall National Monument" — This project contends with the National Park Service’s investment in constructing a liberal, multicultural American national identity through the 2016 designation of Stonewall National Monument. Already on the National Register of Historic Places and a National Historic Landmark, the designation of the Stonewall Inn and neighboring Christopher Park as a national monument—a status meant to preserve “nationally significant resources”—demands critical inquiry into the stated and covert objectives of the incorporation in terms of American national identity and the nation-building project. Considering the collective history and legacy of the Stonewall riots, CSWS research fellows Moe Gámez and Madison Fowler ask what it mean for this site of resistance against the police to now be managed by the U.S. federal government and staffed during opening hours by park rangers. Grounded in abolitionism and queer of color critique, they consider what this commemoration does and who it benefits. They also consider recent changes at Stonewall under the Trump Administration. 

Moe Gámez (they/them/elle) is a PhD student (soon to be candidate) in English at the University of Oregon. Their research centers works created by and about queer and trans Latine/x people that engage environmentalism(s) or conceive of ecology at different scales and focalizations.

Madison Fowler (she/they) is a PhD candidate in Environmental Science, Studies, and Policy at the University of Oregon; her focal department is English. Madison’s research examines the contested futurities at work in U.S. public lands, with attention to both long-held Indigenous relationships with these places and American imperialism.
