ST-Intro/Trans* Studies

This course will introduce students to the epistemologies and analyses of the field of transgender studies. We will investigate the following questions. How do processes of knowledge-production and regimes of gender, racism, colonization, ableism, empire, medical and legal regulation, and social interaction work to simultaneously produce, police, and erase trans and gender nonconforming bodies? How do cultural assumptions of sex as fixed and binary shape interpretive frames and thus policies, institutions, administrative systems and social practices that trans people must negotiate?
