Huge congratulations also to @christopherewing.bsky.social and @sebboo.bsky.social and all their amazing authors for putting this volume together! I am so looking forward to reading more of it and was already delighted to see that there is on article engaging with @queermuseumvienna.bsky.social !
Started my day w coffee, nerdy sweaters, and an inspiring and energizing conversation on queer and trans memory, liberalism, and academia with @sebboo.bsky.social whose book does such an excellent framing of global queer memory cultures and their transatlantic transfers. I keep on going back to it!
Excited to announce that Sonja Dolinsek's und Annalisa Martin's edited volume on the archive of sex work activist Marc-of-Frankfurt is hot off the press! Many congrats to them! π

This finally arrived on my desk and I cannot wait to dig in!
Zwei Fotos, die von einem vertikalen tΓΌrkisen Streifen getrennt werden. Γber den Bildern bewegt sich eine gelbe Linie wellenfΓ€rmig von links nach rechts. Auf dem linken Foto sitzt Andrea Rottmann in einem blauen Anzug an einem Tisch. Sie blickt in Publikum, dessen HinterkΓΆpfe zu sehen sind. Hinter ihr wird eine PowerPoint auf einem Bildschrim freigegeben. Auf dem rechten Bild ist ein BΓΌcherstapel des Buches "Queer Lives Across The Wall" von Andrea Rottmann. Das oberste Buch steht aufrecht auf dem Stapel.
(1/2) Letzten Freitag durfte Andrea Rottmann am @ces.ubc.ca im Rahmen der Tobin Distinguished Lecture Series ihre aktuelle Forschung im Rahmen von QueerDem und ihr Buch vorstellen.
Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics.
The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.
Gibt es den Artikel irgendwo ohne Paywall?
Excited to host Andrea Rottman this Friday! Join in person at UBC or over zoom!
