Susan Stryker and Dylan McCarthy Blackston, "The Transgender Studies Reader Remix" (Routledge, 2022)
Hello, this is Eric LeMay, a host on the New Books Network. Today I interview Susan Stryker and Dylan McCarthy Blackston about\xa0The Transgender Studies Reader Remix\xa0(Routledge, 2023). This is a book that\u2019s as big as it is rich. It brings together 50 previously published articles that track both the history and the current directions in the interdisciplinary field of transgender studies. The reader shows the conversations taking place not only within transgender studies but also between transgender studies and such fields as feminist theory, queer theory, Black studies, history, biopolitics, and the posthumanities. In our conversation, editors Stryker and Blackston gives us a sense of this range and also the crucial issues that inform the creation of the reader itself and the importance of transgender studies as a field. Blackston is an Assistant Professor of Gender, Women\u2019s, and Sexuality Studies in the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies at Appalachian State University. Stryker is Professor Emerita of Gender and Women\u2019s Studies at the University of Arizona, founding co-editor of\xa0TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly, founding co-editor of Duke University Press\u2019s ASTERISK book series, and co-editor of Routledge\u2019s two previous transgender studies readers. And here\u2019s our conversation.\nEric LeMay is on the creative writing faculty at Ohio University. He is the author of five books, most recently Remember Me.
