Trans Studies exists in the cracks within and beyond the University. Nordic Trans Studies Network invites you to a conversation between Yancé-Myah Antonio Harrison, Timimie Märak and Luca Tainio about trans studies within art, activism and academia; about cultural labour, working conditions and the work that is happening across, outside of and against the University. The panel is moderated by Mons Bissenbakker.
