Transgender Studies Quarterly

Announcement of Publication and First Call for Submissions

Editors Paisley Currah and Susan Stryker are pleased to announce that TSQ : Transgender Studies Quarterly will be published by Duke University Press, currently planned for launch in the first quarter of 2014. TSQ aims to be the journal of record for the interdisciplinary field of transgender studies, and to promote the widest possible range of perspectives on transgender phenomena broadly defined. Every issue of TSQ will be a specially themed issue that also contains regularly recurring features such as reviews, interviews, and opinion pieces.

The first four themes have been selected to highlight the scope and diversity of the field :

. TSQ1:1 will be a collection of
short essays on key concepts in transgender studies,
“Postposttransexual : Terms for a 21st Century Transgender Studies.”

. TSQ1:2, “Decolonizing the Transgender
Imaginary,” will explore cross-cultural analysis of sex/gender variation,
and bring transgender studies into critical engagement with ethnography
and anthropology.

. TSQ1:3, “Making Transgender Count,”
co-edited with the Williams Institute’s GENIUSS group (Gender Identity in
U.S. Surveillance), will tackle such issues as population studies,
demography, epidemiology, and quantitative methods.

. TSQ1:4 “Trans Cultural Production,” will be
devoted to the arts, film, literature, and performance.

CFPs for TSQ 1:2-4 will be issued in the months ahead. Proposals for issues starting with TSQ 2:1 (2015) are welcome at any time, and will be reviewed on an on-going basis. Please send inquiries to tsqjournal@gmail.com.

Call for Submissions for TSQ 1:1 (2014)

We invite submissions of short pieces (250-1500 words) for the inaugural issue of TSQ : Transgender Studies Quarterly, “Postposttransexual :
Terms for a 21st Century Transgender Studies,” to be published by Duke
University Press and planned for launch in the first quarter of 2014. Our intention is to showcase a wide range of viewpoints on the present state of the field by bringing together fresh thoughts and informed opinion about current concepts, key terms, recurring themes, familiar problems, and hot topics in the field. Each piece should have a title consisting of a single word or short phrase describing its content ; the volume will be organized alphabetically by that title.
Articles may be written in the style of a mini-essay, as in Raymond Williams’ classic Keywords ; as a factual encyclopedia-style
article such as might be found on Wikipedia ; as a capsule review of transgender-related developments in a particular field (archeology, musicology), geographical location (Iran, Taiwan), or a topic (pornography, psychoanalysis). Creative interpretations of the required form are also welcome. However, each article must address the topic under discussion in relation to some aspect of transgender studies or transgender phenomena.

Inquiries are due by Tuesday September 4, 2012 ; submissions will be due by December 3, 2012, and final revisions will be due by March 4, 2013.
