Howes, Graduate Program Director September 2, 2011 Dr. Graham Carr, Dean School of Gradute Studies ii ABSTRACT Sex work and HIV/AIDS-related stigma in Bangladesh Rehana Akhter This paper explores the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS and sex work and its effect on female sex workers in Bangladesh. In order to identify the roles of two sex worker organizations (Durjoy and Nari Mukti) and to develop the recommendations for them, I conducted my MA thesis in Bangladesh in 2009. In Bangladesh, there is a need for more research on social issues related to HIV/AIDS. Hence, this study’s exploration of both stigma and AIDS issues is valuable. To collect information on these issues, I interviewed eight individual sex workers and conducted six focus group discussions; in total there were 39 participants.

  • How the Separation of Sex Workers from 'Communities'
    Governmentality gone wild: How the separation of sex workers from ‘communities’ contributes to violence against sex workers By Megan Danielle Lonergan A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Gender Studies In conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada July 2016 Copyright © Megan Danielle Lonergan, 2016 Abstract Sex workers are members of our communities, whether they are local or national communities. In law, mainstream media representations, and research sex workers are positioned as outside of or in opposition to communities. Even within marginalized communities sex workers are excluded when appeals to respectability politics are made. In this thesis I analyze three analytic sites from three areas of social life. The first chapter performs a textual analysis of The Bedford Decision (2013) and the resulting Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act (2014) as an examination of law. The second chapter is an analysis of filmic discourse on community, sex workers, and violence in the mainstream film London Road (2015) as an examination of mainstream media. The third chapter draws upon empirical research, i.e. in-depth interviews with three current and former sex workers in Ottawa, Canada and analyzes the transcripts using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) to center how sex workers’ understanding of their work, community, and the laws and policies that are supposed govern and protect them. In my preface and conclusion I discuss some of the ethical dilemmas I encountered while conducting this research. My findings suggest that sex workers are being positioned and understood as outside of communities in ways that contribute to violence against sex workers.

  • Gender Identity Trouble
    GENDER IDENTITY TROUBLE An Analysis of the Underrepresentation of Trans* Professors in Canadian Universities‡ Alexandre Baril, translated by Helene Bigras-Dutrisac and David Guignion Abstract This article considers the under-representation of trans persons who specialize in trans issues employed as professors in Canadian universities, with particular attention paid to the case of depart- ments of gender and feminist studies. The research question is: what are the systemic barriers preventing the displacement of the cis-centric subject from the center of francophone Canadian aca- demic feminism, and contributing to the exclusion of trans persons ? This article analyzes these obstacles. The first part demonstrates the presence of cisgenderism in teaching and research, creating a glass ceiling for trans persons in academia. The second studies the absence of trans issues in feminist francophone teaching and research, despite the interest of students in these issues. The third part employs a transfeminist approach to trouble the cisgender normativity of gender and feminist studies and the disciplinary divisions that marginalize trans persons in academia. ‡ We would like to thank Alexandre Baril and Philosophiques for allowing us to translate and republish “Trouble dans l’identité de genre : le transféminisme et la subversion de l’identité cisgenre : Une analyse de la sous-représentation des personnes trans* professeur-es dans les universités canadiennes,” Philosophiques, 44, no. 2, (2017): 285-317. The data presented in this translation have been updated from the initial publication of this text. All untranslated French language publications referenced in the original publication have been unofficially translated by Da- vid Guignion and Hélène Bigras-Dutrisac for the convenience of the read- er.

    BOOK REVIEWS Sex Change, Social Change: Reflections on Identity, Institutions, and Imperialism. By VIVIANE NAMASTE. Toronto: Women’s Press, 2005. C. Jacob Huk Sex Change, Social Change is a short volume consisting of essays, speeches, interviews, and letters by Viviane Namaste, a Canadian transsexual activist, sociologist, and semiotician who teaches women’s studies at the Simone de Beauvoir Institute, Concordia University, in Quebec. Namaste’s two main goals in this book are (1) to reveal the shortcomings of discussions about transsexual- ity limited to questions of identity, and (2) to provide an alternative framework that will enable more useful conversations about transsexuality. Who is a woman? Are male-to-female transsexuals women?Should they be included in women’s spaces? These questions of identity dominate discussions about transsexuality among contemporary Canadian feminists and transsexual/ transgender theorists and activists in the English-speaking world, according to Namaste. She grants the importance of exploring the different ways that sex and gender can be defined, but she argues that an exclusive focus on identity obscures other critical issues about transsexuality because it leaves out any real understanding of transsexuals’ lives as they are lived. Theorists who measure transsexuality on scales of gender liberation or deconstruction of the hegemonic sex/gender system fail to respect transsexuals because they fail to understand transsexuality on its own terms. Namaste writes that transsexuality “is about the banality of buying some bread, of making photocopies, of getting your shoe fixed.” The focus on identity renders invisible the obstacles to buying bread, making photocopies, or getting one’s shoe fixed, because it elides the ways in which transsexuals are institutionally oppressed, marginalized, and erased, and the ways in which oppression of transsexuals is linked to other systematic forms of oppression, such as those based on class, occupational status, and race or eth- nicity.

  • Debates in Transgender, Queer, and Feminist Theory Contested Sites
    Debates in Transgender, Queer, and Feminist Theory Contested Sites Patricia Elliot DEBATES IN TRANSGENDER, QUEER, AND FEMINIST THEORY Queer Interventions Series editor: Michael O’Rourke Independent Colleges, Dublin Founded by Noreen Giffney and Michael O’Rourke, Queer Interventions is an exciting, fresh and unique new series designed to publish innovative, experimental and theoretically-engaged work in the burgeoning field of queer studies. The aim of the series is to attract work which is highly theoretical; queer work which intersects with other theoretical schools (feminism, postcolonial theory, psychoanalysis, Marxism); work which is accessible but values difficulty; ethical and political projects; and most importantly work which is self-reflexive about methodological and geographical location. It is also keen to commission empirical work which is meta-theoretical in focus. The series is interdisciplinary in focus and publishes monographs and collections of essays by new and established scholars. It promotes and maintains high scholarly standards of research and is attentive to queer theory’s shortcomings, silences, hegemonies and exclusions. It also encourages independence, creativity and experimentation: to make a queer theory that matters and recreate it as something important; a space where new and exciting things can happen.

  • The Conditions for Obtaining Legal Gender Recognition: a Human Rights Evaluation
    The Conditions for Obtaining Legal Gender Recognition: A Human Rights Evaluation Doctor of Philosophy (Law) 2018 Peter Robert Dunne Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is entirely my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the Library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. _________________ Peter Robert Dunne Acknowledgments There are numerous acknowledgments which must be made in relation to this doctoral thesis. During my three years of research, I have received generous support from three academic institutions: Trinity College Dublin (TCD), New York University (NYU) and the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law (MPI). From 2014-2017, I was the recipient of an Ussher Fellowship from TCD. This grant not only covered my university fees, but also provided a monthly living stipend. It allowed me to focus exclusively on research activities throughout my doctoral studies. TCD has also shown great generosity in consistently supporting my research travel initiatives, providing a number of grants throughout my three years at the university. During the period, 2015-2016, I completed a one-year visiting fellowship at NYU School of Law. While at NYU, I benefited from various institutional resources, and from the warmth and expertise of the law school faculty. I am particularly indebted to Karin Loevy (coordinator of the JSD Programme), David Richards (professor of law, who provided support in numerous ways), Jeremy Waldron (professor of law, who offered generous comments and advice on my work), Michael Kavey (adjunct professor of law, from whose teaching and knowledge I benefited), and the entire JSD community, who created a unique and stimulating academic environment.
