feminismismism

No problem! Also, to clarify, the above mentioned folks write very specifically about trans people/histories, but there are definitely many more WGSS faculty for whom trans studies influences the way that they think about queer studies (e.g. Jen Tyburczy at UCSB, Alexis Lothian at UMD, Liz Montegary at Stony Brook, etc etc etc). If you want to apply WGSS programs, I'd recommend just taking a quick look at all of them. Of course, one of the tricks of applying to an interdisciplinary program rather than a traditional discipline (like English) is that you'll also need to think about method/(inter)disciplinary training- rather than just topic/area of interest.

Halberstam is no longer at USC- just accepted a position at Columbia in the English/Comp Lit dept. If you take a look at graduate student profiles, you'll see that pretty much all WGSS programs can and do support projects on trans studies, but it depends on the project. Among WGSS programs, I think Arizona is usually regarded as the strongest in trans studies. UA hired a cluster of Assistant Profs in the field a few years ago. As well as Susan Stryker, Eva Hayward and Francisco Galarte are in the GWS program at UA. Amanda Lock-Swarr works on sex, gender, trans studies in a South African context. She's at UW. Kadji Amin's working on a book on the history of transsexual science. He's at Emory. Marcia Ochoa is at UCSC. If you are looking outside of the U.S., Bobby Noble is at York.
