Trans ± Sex Symposium
Thursday, 5 - Saturday, 7 September 2019
The symposium will bring together leading scholars in Trans Studies, trans cultural producers, and community activists to investigate increasing understandings of trans people, topics, and ways of researching.The purpose of this symposium is to return to lost and refused heuristics in an effort to deepen the field of Trans Studies, as well as to return to questions of subjectivity, desire, and ontology.The symposium will also be a robust site for creating/strengthening connections across communities, which will only serve to dismantle how inequality persists to negatively influence trans people, as well as other (multiply) marginalized populations at UA and in the Tucson community.
This symposium is supported through an Innovation Farm Award through the UA Confluencenter for Creative Inquiry. To learn more about the symposium, check out the event page.
