Kadin Henningsen

The 2023/2024 Individual Laureate is Kadin Henningsen. Kadin Henningsen (he/him/his), compared to nearly all past APHA awardees, might be considered an “early career” educator, printer, and historian. However, the Committee believes that Henningsen’s scholarship focusing on transgender book history is innovative and extremely important in greater efforts to recover and encourage study of authors and practitioners previously excluded from the bibliographic canon. Henningsen’s curriculum vitae showcases his extraordinary track record of presentations, publishing, and awards. Kadin’s commitment to print history is also evident in his work as a printer, print media teacher, and restoration of nineteenth-century printing presses. As a printer, Henningsen’s work supports his scholarship, and also adds a wonderful visual element to book history. Kadin Henningsen is the kind of active, engaged, and community-minded printer and scholar that will attract new members to APHA. Awarding him as the 2023/2024 Individual Laureate supports efforts toward including diverse perspectives and experiences among APHA members and programming.
