<br>While most people address me with the pronouns he/him/his, I am thankful for
<br>communication that goes beyond a gender binary.
<br>
<br>I will do my best to meet accomodation needs in communication and personal
<br>meetings, so please approach me directly in regard to accessibility.

<br>September 24-26, 2018, Karlstad University, Sweden
<br>Hosted by the Centre for Gender Studies and GEXcel International Colleagium

<br>Cultures, University of Helsinki.
<br>
<br>The 3-day conferences aims to connect scholars, activists and artists working
<br>on topics related to Transgender Studies within or connected to the Nordic
<br>region. Activism is the founding stone of the emerging field of Transgender
<br>Studies and is continuously an important companion to the field of Trans
<br>Studies. This conference will present papers, posters and mini-presentations
<br>along the thme of activism, resistances and alliances and create a discussion
<br>space on activist practices, academic activism and grassroot organising. The
<br>conference will feature talks on trans activism, resistance practices,
<br>methodologies, media representation, historical and popcultural archives, art,
<br>ecology, social justice movements, prison industrial system, medico-legal
<br>issues, elderly care, ally activism, as well as affective and ontological
<br>approaches to trans research. We hope to create a specific discussion on
<br>activism, as well as a broader platform for the diversity of knowledge
<br>production in Trans Studies.
