Learning from Queer and Trans Studies introduces readers to key topics in Queer and Trans Studies and employs a queer and trans pedagogy through its non-linear structure that makes connections across disciplines, topics, fields of study, time, and place.
Employing a thematic structure and innovatively introducing readers to trans and queer histories, language, geographies, theories, communities, bodies, and politics, the book centers queer and trans lives, and uses "queer" and "trans" as methodologies for understanding the social world. As well as addressing established topics within the field, the text encourages critical analysis of personal, institutional, and structural dynamics that influence social, economic, education, medical, and political realities.
Addressing trans and queer topics from intersectional, global, and transdisciplinary perspectives, Learning from Queer and Trans Studies: An Introduction is an important text for all those studying Gender Studies, Sociology, Politics, Literature, and many other subjects.
