The Europa Issue

Contributors to this special issue investigate the origin story of transgender studies in Europe. Paying special attention to post-Soviet and post-socialist nationalisms, the formation of the European Union and its funding schemes, different mobilities and patterns of migration, and language use within and between nation-states, the authors explore the institutionalization of transgender studies as European citizens and newcomers are faced with a resurgence of fascisms.
 
Topics include the first trans protest in Italy, black life and trans study, trans health-care zines, southern trans masculinity, and teaching trans/gender studies during the rise of the global right.
