Peter Boag

Peter Boag, a professor and Columbia Chair in the History of the American West at Washington State University Vancouver, co-curated the exhibit 'Crossing Boundaries: Portraits of a Transgender West'. He discusses the complex histories of transgender lives in the American West, highlighting the pioneers Alan Hart and Joe Monaghan. The conversation navigates the challenges of documenting these narratives and emphasizes the significance of visibility and acceptance in both past and present contexts. Boag's insights shed light on historical discrimination and the evolving dialogue on trans rights.
