Transfeminist Perspectives in and beyond Transgender and Gender Studies

Anne Enke

Responding to the more visible presence of transgender persons as well as gender theories, the contributing essayists focus on how gender is practiced in academia, health care, social services, and even national border patrols. Working from the premise that transgender is both material and cultural, the contributors address such aspects of the university as administration, sports, curriculum, pedagogy, and the appropriate location for transgender studies. Combining feminist theory, transgender studies, and activism centred on social diversity and justice, these essays examine how institutions as lived contexts shape everyday life.
