Myra Billund-Phibbs is a historian, library worker, and PhD student at the University of Minnesota interested in the relationship between people’s social and sexual lives, legal and political advocacy, and psycho-medical entanglements in 20th century American cities. Her current research focuses on a small group of transsexual women in the Twin Cities in the 1970s, specifically examining their social lives and relationships to political, legal, and medical institutions using microhistorical and oral history methods. She was previously Project Manager of the Tretter Transgender Oral History Project, an archivist for the Tretter Collection in GLBT Studies and Hennepin County Library Special Collections, and a tour guide and presenter on LGBT histories in the Upper Midwest. She is the author of the only published article on the University of Minnesota’s mid-century transgender surgical program and a recipient of the LGBTQ+ History Association’s Estelle Freedman Award.
