Courses

Recent work at the intersection of queer and transgender studies has sparked debates
about shared or divergent histories of gender variance, a shared or divergent politics of
embodiment, and about formulations of gender variance in a global frame. Rather than
contribute to an increasingly volatile set of debates, this course offers instead a series of
sustained inquiries into histories, theories and epistemologies of mobile, flexible and
transitional narratives of being in a body. At the same time we will investigate the binary
of mobility/fixity to see what other, potentially invisible social structures depend upon
this opposition.
