商品簡介
This is the first introductory text/reader for trans, transgender, or trans* studies at all levels, from first year to graduate coursework.
Using entertaining as well as informative features, this combination text/reader will appeal to a range of students who may know very little about the field. It can be used in programs and courses ranging from major courses to electives in LGBT/queer studies, feminist/gender studies, and other allied disciplines.
The book’s step-by-step teaching tools include:
-Key questions for students
-Personal brief vignettes (told in first person)
-Writings from the community (full-length commissioned essays by community members, mostly trans people but also LGB people and allies)
-Key concepts
-Film, television, and media of interest (titles and brief descriptions)
-Activities, discussion questions, and observations
Throughout, Ardel Haefele-Thomas embraces the richness of intersecting identities: how race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, class, nation, religion, and ability have cross-influenced to shape the transgender experience and culture across and beyond the binary.
