Yesterday's keynote at #BritCult2025 #conference was really impactful, with Colby Gordon highlighting the queer & trans elements in #Medieval & #EarlyModern Christian iconography & texts, from Genesis to Jesus Christ & the Last Judgment

Here is a very interesting symposium exploring intersections, tensions, and political solidarities between #transstudies and #CriticalAnimalStudies in the context of rising authoritarianism

Absolutely thrilled to be at the launch of the Stronger Voices report from the #TransLearningPartnership detailing the challenges that the UK trans community face in accessing housing, community and livelihood #TransRightsAreHumanRights #TransStudies #TransInclusion

I mention it because I see the paper getting downloaded quite frequently. But otherwise, we've not seen traction. Not sure why. So, if you have reason to read it and if it fits into your work, we'd be quite excited about seeing it cited. :) #writingstudies #cdnwrds #transstudies #teamrhetoric

#TransStudies slash #QueerStudies scholars: do you have a fave paper on queer tokenism and representation?

My go-to for discussing the harms of tokenism is Davis, E. (2016). Typecasts, tokens, and spokespersons: A case for credibility excess as testimonial injustice. Hypatia, 31(3), 485-501 https://www.jstor.org/stable/44076488 — it is a brilliant paper, but I'd like to have something specifically about queer/trans folk if it exists

I'm at an amazing event on trans performance involving both artists and scholars and you could be catching it too, because it's being streamed on Youtube https://youtube.com/live/O-fYfDbHV2k

Sind digitale wissenschaftliche Publikationen einmal online, können sie nicht einfach so geändert werden. Und trotzdem muss genau das manchmal sein. Beim Open Gender Journal haben wir uns intensiv damit beschäftigt, wie wir mit unterschiedlichen Fehlerarten umgehen: kleine Fehler, wissenschaftliches Fehlverhalten und falsche personenbezogenen Angaben wie Pronomen oder Vornamen.

Die Ergebnisse könnt ihr jetzt im Blog der DINI AGs nachlesen: Kathrin Ganz & Sabrina Schotten: "Integrität im wissenschaftlichen Publizieren: Der Ansatz des Open Gender Journals zu Artikeländerungen".

Last talk of the day: Hao Tian (https://www.southampton.ac.uk/people/62qllx/mr-hao-tian) looks at how responses to the leak of medical information about #AIDS treatment in China led to a witch hunt against gay men driven by established homophobic stereotypes

His project interviewed both victims and perpetrators of the witch hunt to explore not only its impact but its motivations

Setting up virtual writing accountability systems allows you to get the social support and validation you need to finish your writing projects and makes the process much more fun as well.

Here is how to set up virtual writing accountability systems that fit your goals, time, and resources. https://ideasonfire.net/virtual-writing-accountability/

I’ve been playing around with Mastodon for long enough that I decided it was time I made a personal account. So here it is, and here’s an #introduction

I’m a #sociology PhD student at #WayneStateUniversity interested in all kinds of things, but mainly #sex #gender #sexuality #transstudies and #mentalhealth

Outside of academics, I also do online marketing and WordPress consulting, and I enjoy building and recreating in wooden boats.
