Jennifer Evans is pleased to announce a new book series with Manchester University Press on Queer and Trans Histories. She is excited to work with fellow series editors Matt Cook (Oxford) and Patricio Simonetto (Leeds) and the excellent advisory board to bring new and important work into the world.
The Queer and Trans Histories series aims to serve as a go-to place for cutting-edge stories on earlier and existing LGBTQ+ formations and encourages work on queer and trans lives that challenge identity frameworks. Spanning premodern to modern eras, global perspectives, and across genders and sexualities, it explores intersections of age, race, class, religion, dis/ability, and more.
Key areas of interest include:
- The relationship between urban and rural spaces, local to global, and the way migration, mobility and circulation has shaped queer and trans experience over time.
- New perspectives on the rich tradition of exploring legal and medical frameworks that have shaped categories of normalcy and deviance.
- Studies of mutual aid, DIY practices, arts-based initiatives, and public historical work.
- Histories of emotion, affect, orientation, desire and care.
