Research

The primary focus of my study is transsexualism as it is formulated as an object of cultural knowledge through etiology, identification, and lived practice. Through transsexualism and other gender deviances, my work explores various notions of the body and embodiment, temporality, medicalization and pharmaceuticals, critical theory and knowledge production, and something like phenomenology.
