It’s that time of year again – chestnuts are roasting on an open fire, Megyn Kelly is being roasted on Twitter, and Black Santa ornaments are once again gracing store shelves in our corner of the South Bronx.

Recently, we sat down with Dr. Karina Hogan to discuss why she and fellow faculty members see acceptance of trans students as fitting with Fordham’s Jesuit mission.

Archaic cross-cultural thinking has persisted throughout centuries as women are generally expected to remain “pure” until they are married.
