Our Fellows

Noah Adams lives and works in Toronto and the traditional territories of the Mississaugas of the Credit, Anishnabeg, Chippewa, Haudenosaunne, and Wendat peoples. He is a researcher, advocate, and student at the University of Toronto’s Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, where he is completing a PhD in Adult Education and Community Development. Adams’ PhD work expands on his recently published book Trans and Autistic: Stories from Life at the Intersection (with Bridget Liang; Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 2020) and explores the development of transgender/autistic community groups. He plans to interview transgender/autistic community leaders in Canada, the United States, and the Netherlands. Adams works with the City of Toronto’s shelter system providing support to homeless seniors and mothers and families. He also volunteers extensively and is currently working with the Transgender Professional Association for Transgender Health, an international network he co-founded that will hold its inaugural academic conference in July 2021.
