Working on a lecture on trans & fascism and wish the US government and its fascist proxies would stop forcing me to rework it on a daily basis.

This finally arrived on my desk and I cannot wait to dig in!

(1/2) Letzten Freitag durfte Andrea Rottmann am @ces.ubc.ca im Rahmen der Tobin Distinguished Lecture Series ihre aktuelle Forschung im Rahmen von QueerDem und ihr Buch vorstellen.

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics. The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

Excited to host Andrea Rottman this Friday! Join in person at UBC or over zoom!

My book chapter on #MagnusHirschfeld and #AndersAlsDieAndern in the edited collection Urban Discourses of Crises and Resistance by @springer.springernature.com is finally available! #Queer #Weimar #Germany

This fall the DDGC Queer and Trans Studies Research Coop will be hosting a cozy reading book club. Join us to read and discuss Blutbuch by Kim de l’Horizon! Dates and registration can be found here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Our writing support groups are forming for Sept-Dec. They have been around since 2018 and are a vital component of community building in German studies. Join us! Reach out if you have questions. And pls share with colleagues, students. @ddgc.bsky.social www.ddgccollective.org/writing-supp...

So happy that the UBC Centre for European Studies *finally* has a new website. The clean design belies the amount of work and time that has gone into this project!

So grateful I get to work with this impeccable, sharp, and generous scholar and teacher!

I am so looking forward to kick off the fall with Andrea Rottmann giving the next Tobin Distinguished Lecture in Queer and Trans German Studies at UBC on September 12th! To join in person or virtually visit ces.ubc.ca/events/event...

“We don’t need any more disgusting ‘trans joy,’” Gill-Peterson says. “We don’t need any more ‘gender euphoria.’ Let’s just get rid of all that and spend our time delivering real things that matter to people, things like hormones and sex changes and surgeries.” www.them.us/story/jules-...

Hugely looking forward to giving this talk at the Queer Kinship network: “Pets Portraits and Sapphic Modernism: Queer Kinship beyond the Human” Thursday 26 June 2025 5 pm (Italy) - 4 pm (UK) - 11 am (Toronto & East Coast) Join online! 🌈🎓 www.queerkinshipnetwork.com/seminars?fbc...

Ich bin sehr dankbar für die tollen Beitragenden und die schöne Zusammenarbeit - der Band erscheint im Mai bei @transcript-verlag.bsky.social 💜 www.transcript-verlag.de/978-3-8376-7...

Talking to @tatiana-klepikova.bsky.social was so much fun and knowing I was in such good company made it even better!!

Ecstatic to be at Oxford next month! And yes, I have a few things to say about that UK Supreme Court case which *checks notes* did not hear from a single trans woman. Maybe a few thousand years of trans herstory can speak instead 🏳️‍⚧️ #transhistory #histsex #lgbtqhistory #transstudies #transrights 💘

The proofs are in 🥳

Check out the website of this student-led trans* public histories project: transgeschichten.de

If you were accepted to present at the now-cancelled Berkshire Conference, you have the chance to jump to the AHA! So, anyone want to join @zaviernunn.bsky.social & me on a trans histories panel?

friends & lovelies, I am giving a talk at @ces.ubc.ca next week! Come join in person or online!

Grateful to have spent the morning in the Trans Opacity Classroom as part of the upcoming "Indiscernible thresholds, escaped veillances" exhibition at the Libby Leshgold Gallery curated by Dallas Fellini. Vancouver folx go check it out www.libby.ecuad.ca/exhibitions/...

Forget conferences and athletics. If this "rule" is applied across all visa categories, it will affect trans students, asylum seekers, people on work visas, even tourists. No doubt it won't stand up in court, but it will fuck over a lot of people in the meantime.

Just received my ballot for the German elections after having registered in early December. Extra points to the bureaucrat who managed to find my legal deadname and address the whole thing to Ms. Garde. Thanks for nothing, Schland.

I joined more than 350 LGBTQIA+ historians in signing this letter protesting the government attempt to erase trans people from history by censoring the Stonewall National Monument website. Erasing a word does not erase our existence--now or in the past. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Just read through the program and its sounds fabulous!

Next Tuesday, 25 Feb 2025, 5:30PM - 7:00PM (UK time; online): Sam Rutherford @echomikeromeo.bsky.social on Teaching Gender: Women's History, Trans Possibility, and Moral Panic in Interwar Britain. A History of Sexuality Seminar. Free but you need to sign up 🌈🎓 www.history.ac.uk/events/teach...

My comrade and drag mom @kyfrack.bsky.social and I are hosting a workshop on queer media theory at the Auerbach Institute of the University of Cologne this summer. Reach out if you are interested in participating. Glad to brainstorm with you. 🌈

Excited to start my day with this!

So exciting!
