Penn GSE Event: Trans Literacy Project: Teaching Feminist, Queer, and Trans Theory
The Trans Literacy Project is a series of pedagogy seminars that encourages building classrooms and communities that support trans, gender non-conforming, non-binary, intersex, genderqueer, and gender fluid folks. The first seminar is on Oct. 29th at the LGBT Center, and is entitled "Teaching Feminist, Queer, and Trans Theory," featuring Heath Fogg Davis (Temple), Melissa Sanchez (Penn), and Jessa Lingel (Penn).

The inaugural workshop in the Trans Literacy Project brings together faculty in English, Communications, and Political Science to address dialogues and dissonances between feminist, queer, and trans theory. Graduate students and faculty will learn strategies for designing syllabi that use texts from all three fields to frame conversations about gender and sexuality across disciplines. This workshop will open with comments from each panelist, and leave lots of time for questions and discussion. Refreshments will be served!
