Transgender in Scandinavia
This course explores the history of trans activism with a special focus on Sweden, and how legislative and medical discourses change how we think about gender identities and rights. We also explore topics such as transphobia, gender disclosure and HIV criminalization laws, reproductive rights, gender-neutral pronouns, transgender children and their families, and how race and class intersect with being trans.
