International Workshop trans*- PERSPECTIVES, EXPERIENCES, SPACES

The interdisciplinary conference focuses on issues of embodiment, structural exclusion, violence, and representation. The conference will examine trans* experiences in various contexts: in sports, music, the legal system, transnational activism, and in the face of everyday and structural violence. It will explore how institutions—medical, legal, and cultural— enable or restrict the self-determination of trans* people and reveal the complexity of trans* lived realities. The focus remains on the question of what forms of individual and collective resistance, solidarity, and imagination trans* individuals and communities develop in a society shaped by binary gender norms.
