A paper titled ‘It’s nice we can do that too’: investigating transgender persons’ negotiations with identity and community questions in Indian science institutions by Sayantan Datta, Assistant Professor of Practice, Centre for Writing and Pedagogy (CWP) at Krea University has been published in the Community Development Journal (Oxford University Press).
In this paper, Datta draws upon the lived experiences of four interlocutors to delineate the ways in which proximal and distal networks of caste-class and gender shape transgender, gender non-conforming, and non-binary persons’ exclusion from and belonging in science collectivities. This paper is a part of the upcoming special issue on queer and trans community building in post-377 and post-NALSA India, edited by Pushpesh Kumar, Sayantan Datta, and Neha Mishra.
