Toward a Critical Transgender Movement w/ Eric Stanley & Dean Spade @ Stanford Law School
Join Stanford Students for Queer Liberation for a presentation and discussion with prominent transgender scholar-activists Dean Spade and Eric Stanley on the limits of the contemporary LGBT movements.
Spade and Stanley will be discussing their recent books, Normal Life: Administrative Violence, Critical Trans Politics and the Limits of the Law and Captive Genders: Trans Embodiment and the Prison Industrial Complex, which present novel interventions to our understanding of the law and the criminal justice system. Drawing from Critical Race Analysis and lessons from feminist and queer organizing, Spade and Stanley present compelling critiques of legal rights frameworks, the prison industrial complex, criminalization, and the authority of the State that are pertinent to all people invested in human rights issues and social justice.
