Description
What does it look like to do trans studies in premodern archives? How might early modern trans studies be more archival? What tools would we need or might we make to help scholars locate archival sources that inform our thinking on premodern gender? This workshop aims to support scholars at all career stages in approaching the Newberry’s collections with trans studies perspectives and research questions. In addition to exploring what an archival approach to early modern trans studies might look like, workshop participants will collectively develop a trans studies finding aid for a premodern archival collection.
