Queer Becomings

Friday, September 20

This session will be about my experience teaching this course (I am teaching the fourth iteration this semester!) and how I came to design this course and its core priorities based on my own research, as an anthropologist of religion and ethics, with the thirunangai transfeminine community in southern India.
