"A valuable contribution to the field … Trans Studies is an
informative and stimulating read."
*Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy*
Winner of the 2017 Sylvia Rivera Award in Transgender Studies from
the Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS)
*Center for LGBTQ Studies (CLAGS)*
"This welcome new anthology brings into sharp focus one of the
most productive contributions the field of trans studies has
made to scholarship on sexuality and gender: revealing the
extent to which dominant, naturalized constructions of the
relationship between sexed embodiment and gendered
subjectivity traverse not only the heteronormative world, but
also much of feminism, queer theory, and other fields
that study the creation of social hierarchy from bodily
difference. Addressing such diverse topics as educational
activism, policy reform, surveillance technologies, cinema,
theater, narrative arts, migration, and social movements,
Trans Studies ably demonstrates that the field it surveys
has indeed arrived as an important new lens for understanding,
interpreting and appreciating a wide range of human
diversities."
*coeditor of The Transgender Studies Reader v. 1 & 2 and Co-founder
of Transgender Studies Quarterly*
"A vital addition to the field of trans studies. Martínez-San
Miguel and Tobias have curated a collection of rich new
scholarship located in the spaces between trans, feminist, and
queer studies."
*coeditor of Transgender Rights and co-founder of Transgender
Studies Quarterly*
"Trans Studies brings together some of the most challenging and
compelling recent work in the field of transgender studies. The
collection includes voices from inside and outside the academy, and
it makes activists' contributions central. The fact of this
diversity makes the project extremely vibrant: it will have a broad
appeal across disciplines and for activists and community members
as well."
