Transnational Queer and Transgender Scholarship

This Graduate Research Cluster brings together graduate students studying queer and transgender issues in global contexts beyond North America and Europe. Focusing on inclusive and collaborative research methods, the group explores how gender and sexuality intersect with race, class, caste, and indigeneity across diverse cultures. By sharing scholarship, hosting discussions, and engaging with communities, participants aim to challenge Western-centered theories and develop ethical, grounded approaches to queer and trans research in the Global South.
