| Abstract: | The Centre for Gender Studies hosted a presentation by Professor Jack Halberstam, Professor of Gender Studies and English, Columbia University, for his new book Trans* on Tuesday 15 May 2018 at the Main Lecture Theatre, Divinity School, St. John's College. This event was co-sponsored by the Department of Politics and International Studies.
In the last decade, public discussions of transgender issues have increased exponentially. However, with this increased visibility has come not just power, but regulation, both in favour of and against trans people. What was once regarded as an unusual or even unfortunate disorder has become an accepted articulation of gendered embodiment as well as a new site for political activism and political recognition. In 'Trans*' Professor Jack Halberstam explores these recent shifts in the meaning of the gendered body and representation, and explores the possibilities of a non-gendered, gender-optional, or gender-queer future. |
