Transdisciplinarity Now headshots

Bringing together current visiting scholars, this roundtable discussion explores a range of transdisciplinarity approaches to feminist, queer, and trans studies through the lenses of ethnography, art history, translation, and literary, visual, and cultural studies. The event will begin with brief introductions to each researcher’s work, then move into a moderated conversation, and conclude with audience questions. Designed to broadly welcome students, faculty, and other community members, the afternoon aims to foster a forum for timely conversations around the challenges of FQT studies today and visions for more safe, sustainable tomorrows. This may include addressing ongoing issues such as the dynamics of il/legibility, modes of confronting/resisting institutional strictures, and practices in alliance-building and individual-collective care.
