Although ancient civilizations throughout the world recognized, respected, and even revered transgender, third spirit, and other non-binary persons, European colonization often enforced the Judeo-Christian notion of only two genders.

In recent decades, many cultures and communities have witnessed the compassionate inclusion of people whose identities do not conform to traditional categories. As a result, boarding schools are among the many institutions who must now answer the question: How can we equitably embrace all of our students?

To begin answering this question, Dr. Chris Thurber will lead a panel discussion of students and boarding staff who have lived in and led all-gender dorms at one of the world's top boarding schools: Phillips Exeter Academy. Whatever your personal beliefs and school policies are, we invite you to join this cutting-edge discussion so your future decisions are even more informed.
