My research monograph Understanding Trans Health will be published in just over a month! To celebrate, I will be holding an event on Tuesday 5th June at the University of Leeds, where I will be discussing the book and the findings it reports. I have also invited a number of people I admire enormously to talk about what they’re working on at the moment.
The event is FREE but places are limited, so please do register if you want to come!
Talks will include:
‘The Gender Experts’: Clinical Discourse and Becoming Trans
Dr Ruth Pearce (University of Leeds)

What is Gender Dysphoria? – at least, in the Literature
Dr Zowie Davy (De Montfort University) and Dr Michael Toze (University of Lincoln)

Body Parts in Trans Erotica
Dr Kat Gupta (University of Sussex)

Dr Kate Nambiar (Clinic T, Brighton)

The event will be chaired by my colleague Professor Sally Hines.
There will also be plenty of time for questions and discussion. The event will be followed by a reception with free drinks and nibbles.
I hope to see you there!

Hi, This looks like a fascinating event which I would have loved to attend: unfortunately I’m already booked on that day. I wonder if you are considering filming/ recording the event?
All best, Maggi

Hi Maggi – thanks for your interest! I’m sorry to say that, I don’t have the equipment to do this I’m afraid. I will also be giving a public talk in Manchester on Saturday 9th June – details should be on my “talks” page soon https://ruthpearce.net/talks/. Regardless, I hope we can meet some time, it looks like you’re doing really important work.
