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.

东张西望望东西

Suyubai Park is a very quiet place. There are lakes and mountains here, and there are many houses around. It makes people very envious of the scenery and living environment here. It is a very leisurely and comfortable place.

Space Needle

Night view

clarimina

Very cool establishment with two floors of views of the beautiful Seattle skyline. They&rsquo;re open day and night and I missed the night views. The revolving floor was super fun for my kid and myself. The Photo Booth is interesting and we had some memorable photos. Maybe they can include some more activities inside the restaurants and have clear instructions about which lifts lead where.

Chihuly Garden and Glass

Museums

Elbik

Its an incredible art gallery that showcases the brilliance of Dale Chihuly&rsquo;s work. The vibrant combination of colors and glass creates a mesmerizing experience, truly highlighting the artist&rsquo;s creative genius. The way the gallery is designed, with its dark, minimalist layout, allows the artwork to shine even more, giving each piece its own unique presence.
