While most people address me with the pronouns he/him/his, I am thankful for
communication that goes beyond a gender binary.

I will do my best to meet accomodation needs in communication and personal
meetings, so please approach me directly in regard to accessibility.

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

With keynote speaker Julian Honkasalo, PhD, Gender Studies, Department of
Cultures, University of Helsinki.

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