It will examine the w ays that broader cultural and technological changes\, especially the shift in the late 1980s and early 1990s towards single-issue politics based on personal identity\, influenced the formation of the trans community as it is recognizable today.\n\nNow in its 29th year\, the MBHS provides a forum for faculty and graduate students sharing a research interest in any phas e of British History (very broadly defined). Papers of about 45-50 minutes or pre-circulated papers are followed by discussion.
