SUMMARY:One Book One University: Community-Wide Lecture & Conversation with Author
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this year’s One Book\, One University\, as we dive into Pidgeon Pagonis’ memoir “Nobody Needs to Know”— an unforgettable story of self-discovery\, identity\, and truth. Book signing immediately following community-wide lecture in Fasnacht Court. Don’t miss out! \nNobody Needs to Know:\nA Memoir by Pidgeon Pagonis\nThis memoir is a poignant\, vulnerable\, and deeply moving account of a person born intersex\, who grew up thinking and being told “she” was a girl only to learn in college they are intersex. This realization led to a re-examination of their childhood and a reckoning with a life shaped by lies that left them physically and mentally scarred. But for Pagonis\, what began as a shameful and traumatic discovery transforms into a painful yet joyous journey of self-love\, truth\, and healing. \nThe book addresses unsettling experiences of adolescence and explores themes about alienation\, identity\, and self-discovery. Pagonis also discusses human rights of intersex people\, and the book provides opportunities to engage in critical discussions of related topics such as LGBTQ+ issues\, women’s rights\, and medical rights. The book examines problems with the medical field in misdiagnosing and undermining conditions related to sexuality\, with a comprehensive criticism of how authoritative systems limit individual agency and dismiss anything other than the gender binary. Pagonis recounts the activism and community engagement that led to policy changes at a local Chicago hospital regarding treatment of people born intersex. Ultimately\, the book is a celebration of the freedom and empowerment that come from learning the truth about who you are—and living it. \nEvent Information\nDate: October 23\, 2024\nLecture Time: 3:00 PM\nLecture Location: University of La Verne | Morgan Auditorium\nBook Signing Location: Fasnacht Court
