Third Place Books is thrilled to welcome Dr. Oliver L. Haimson to our Seward Park store! Dr. Haimson will be discussing his new book Trans Technologies, which describes what happens when trans people take technology design into their own hands. Haimson, whose research into gender transition and technology has defined this area of study, draws on transgender studies and his own in-depth interviews with more than 100 creators of technology—including apps, games, health resources, extended reality systems, and supplies designed to address challenges trans people face—to explain what trans technology is and to explore its present possibilities and limitations, as well as its future prospects. He will be joined in conversation by Sasha Winter. This event is free and open to the public. For important updates, RSVP is highly recommended in advance. This event will include a public signing and time for audience Q&A. Sustain our author series by purchasing a copy of the featured book! Having trouble registering?

About Trans Technologies . . .Mainstream technologies often exclude or marginalize transgender users. Trans Technologies describes what happens when trans people take technology design into their own hands. Oliver L. Haimson, whose research into gender transition and technology has defined this area of study, draws on transgender studies and his own in-depth interviews with more than 100 creators of technology—including apps, games, health resources, extended reality systems, and supplies designed to address challenges trans people face—to explain what trans technology is and to explore its present possibilities and limitations, as well as its future prospects.
Haimson surveys the landscape of trans technologies to reveal the design processes that brought these technologies to life, and to show how trans people often must rely on community, technology, and the combination of the two to meet their basic needs and challenges. His work not only identifies the role of trans technology in caring for individuals within the trans community but also shows how trans technology creation empowers some trans people to create their own tools for navigating the world. Articulating which trans needs and challenges are currently being addressed by technology and which still need to be addressed; describing how trans technology creators are accomplishing this work; examining how privilege, race, and access to resources impact which trans technologies are built and who may be left out; and highlighting new areas of innovation to be explored, Trans Technologies opens the way to meaningful social change. Dr. Oliver Haimsonis an Assistant Professor at University of Michigan School of Information and author of Trans Technologies (MIT Press, 2025). He conducts social computing research focused on envisioning and designing trans technologies.

蘇域柏公園是一處非常恬靜的地方的，這裏湖光山色，而且周圍有不少的住宅，讓人非常羡慕這裏的風光以及居住的環境的，是很休閑愜意的地方的

從貝爾維尤步行就可以到達西雅圖520大橋，如圖一，這裏還是個很漂亮的公園和停車場，喜歡步行走過大橋就到達西雅圖了，喜歡乘坐公交車也可以，車站就在停車場的下邊，很多車次，而且等車時間都不長，特別方便。

博物館

Elbik

這是一個令人難以置信的藝術畫廊,展示了Dale Chihuly作品的輝煌。色彩和玻璃的生動組合創造了迷人的體驗,真正突出了藝術家的創造性天才。畫廊的設計方式,以其黑暗的、極簡的佈局,使藝術品更加閃耀,使每一件作品都有自己獨特的存在。

驚人的海鮮和有趣的氛圍當然!讓我想起了舊金山;最好的部分是看街頭藝人!我遇到了一位女士,她向莫特利克魯博士演奏鼓,感覺很好,太棒了!我有牡射擊者與4個海鮮販子,同時購買美味的薰魚。走下條帶,我遇到了一個賣熱巧克力片餅乾的地方,上面有片狀海鹽。好吃!最後,有一個土耳其經營的商店,那個女人給了我很好的禮物建議,並吃了我吃過的最好的 Baklava 。
