Keynote at Punk Scholars conference

On Thursday 12 December I will be speaking at the University of Stirling for the Punk Scholars Network UK annual conference!

In-person bookings appear to be closed, but you can still register for free to attend online.

Poster for the Punk Scholars Network 11th Annual Conference and Postgraduate Symposium, featuring black text, an image of cargo crates against a yellow background, and logos for PSN Global Punk, the University of Stirling, and the Punk Scholars Network. Text reads as follows. Punk: status, genre and creativity. 12th and 13th December 2024, University of Stirling, Scotland, United Kingdom (with a hybrid option throughout). www.punkscholarsnetwork.com.

In my talk, I am planning to draw on the history of trans movements, trans studies, and trans punk to argue that we can and should be using creative DIY skills to change the world. Trans experiences show the power of genre-crossing, which can be applied to knowledge exchange within and beyond both universities and punk scenes. From gigs to zines to academic talks and self-archiving, trans punk pedagogy can help us work through our complicity, and build solidarity across difference.

City Campus, University of Wolverhampton

I will be talking about some of the key issues and debates in trans feminism as part of the University of Wolverhampton’s International Women’s Week programme, highlighting areas of commonality and difference between the political struggles of trans women and cis women. I will also explore both historical and contemporary disputes over the place of trans issues (including challenges faced by trans men and non-binary people) within a women’s movement.
