interdisciplinary and intersectional certificate explores the importance of transgender lives and communities in society. Trans voices are centered, and courses range from considering trans activism, trans histories, trans lives within social institutions, literary works by trans authors, decolonizing transgender experiences, and imagining trans futures.<\/p>\n<p>Using trans, feminist, and queer critical perspectives, we pay specific attention to the diversity of trans lives and experiences addressing gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, Indigeneity, class, disability, and embodiment. The certificate focuses on social change and social justice for trans lives, addressing inequities, inequalities, empowerment, and resilience. The certificate prepares students to work in a variety of fields addressing trans lives.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-maet9ugj-e066f85b59a0745b528d563b24be982f-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_heading '><a href="https:\/\/catalog.sou.edu\/preview_program.php?catoid=18&amp;poid=6064&amp;returnto=2242"  class='avia-button av-maet9ugj-e066f85b59a0745b528d563b24be982f av-link-btn avia-icon_select-no avia-size-large avia-position-left avia-color-dark'  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  aria-label=\"COURSE REQUIREMENTS\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >COURSE REQUIREMENTS<\/span><\/a><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-73t8d13-d077036f522f901b29b68f309c9ca025\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-73t8d13-d077036f522f901b29b68f309c9ca025{\npadding-bottom:20px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-73t8d13-d077036f522f901b29b68f309c9ca025 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-73t8d13-d077036f522f901b29b68f309c9ca025 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:24px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-73t8d13-d077036f522f901b29b68f309c9ca025 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-73t8d13-d077036f522f901b29b68f309c9ca025 av-special-heading-h3  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_button  el_before_av_textblock  right-pillow'><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Degree Fit<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lrqz722m-6b68f648e91c8efe0509309de98b65db '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock right-pillow av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h4>Program Preparation<\/h4>\n<p>Students interested in developing deep academic and activist understandings about transgender lives, communities, and social issues will thrive in this certificate.
