FGSS FALL SYMPOSIUM, "Transfeminism"
Emi Koyama writes in The Transfeminist Manifesto that transfeminism is a movement “by and for trans women who view their liberation as linked to the liberation of all women and beyond.” This symposium will broaden transfeminism to recognize the feminist work of trans activists and scholars, critically respond to institutional and legal gender policing and discrimination, and challenge transphobia in feminist and queer discourse and practice. Our conversation will address the promise of transfeminism as a political stance, a theoretical framework, a set of activist practices, and a call to action.
