The S4JT Committee on Advancing Trans, Non-Binary, and Intersex Scholarship is made up of a number of subcommittees tasked with different roles in advancing scholarship, their information can be found in the table below.
SUBCOMMITTEES |
Syllabus and Teaching Committee |
| Carey Jean Sojka, Rosalind Kichler, and Derek Siegel. | |
Tasks
|
- #TransJusticeSyllabus – update it as needed; publicize to sociologists, trans studies scholars, and the public.
- Create the Trans Justice Bibliography- a compendium of all scholarship on trans justice
- Produce additional materials that will encourage people to teach trans, non-binary, and intersex studies scholarship across the discipline. One specific suggestion was sample syllabi sections for different courses (i.e. a section someone could add to intro, social problems, etc., but also any and all other courses taught in sociology…perhaps start with courses based on section names?)
- Collect activities, assignments, and other course materials on trans studies in sociology classrooms
- Webinar on teaching trans, non-binary, and intersex studies.
