Vital Relations: Rethinking Trans Health and Medicine

This two-panel symposium brings together scholars, clinicians, and activists to examine how trans health has been shaped and contested through medicine, ethics, and political struggles. This symposium situates the contemporary moment's heightened scrutiny, backlash, and regulatory intervention within broader histories of trans medicine--from early gatekeeping and experimental care to community led health activism to the current reconfiguration of "evidence," risk, and responsibility. What counts as care? Who gets to define it? How is medical authority produced and challenged? 

Speakers: Kadjlamin, Tankut Atuk, Chris Barcelos, Jacob Moses & Ruth Pearce
