The Transgender Studies Reader 2

Welcome!

Welcome to the companion website for The Transgender Studies Reader 2!
Over the past twenty years, transgender studies has emerged as a vibrant field of interdisciplinary scholarship. In 2006, Routledge’s The Transgender Studies Reader brought together the first definitive collection of the field. Since its publication, the field has seen an explosion of new work that has expanded the boundaries of inquiry in many directions. The Transgender Studies Reader 2 gathers these disparate strands of scholarship and collects them into a format that makes sense for teaching and research.
Complementing the first volume, rather than competing with it, The Transgender Studies Reader 2 consists of fifty articles, with a general introduction by the editors, explanatory head notes for each essay, and bibliographical suggestions for further research. Unlike the first volume, which was historically based, tracing the lineage of the field, this volume focuses on recent work and emerging trends.
This website supplements the book with resources including:

• A primer introducing the field of transgender studies
• Further reading lists and other resources for each chapter
• An image gallery
• A bibliography
• Links to websites and blogs
• A selection of online videos
