Amelia Smith is a transgender lesbian emerging museum professional. Her work seeks to bridge the gap between trans studies and museum studies, revealing what the museum field can learn from a transgender perspective. She began this work during her Masters of Museum Studies at the University of Toronto, resulting in her first exhibition, Transition Related Surgery: The Fight For Access, on the history of gender affirming surgery in Ontario. She sits on an advisory committee for the Transition Related Surgery department at Women’s College Hospital. In 2021, Amelia worked with Collaboratory archival partner the Transgender Archives at the University of Victoria to design Word of Mouth, a digital exhibit featuring interviews collected for the Trans Activism Oral History Project.
