Bren Garland
| Bren Garland is an anti-disciplinary scholar, artist, and organizer whose research rests between Trans/Queer Studies, Abolition, Anarchism, and Visual/Performance Studies with influences from Anti-Colonial Theory and Black Studies. Her primary interest is in thinking through Trans Studies, in conversation with Black Studies, as a field that reveals the ways in which the racial, colonial, and gendered logics of modernity have constructed Western knowledge/reality and invites us to radically imagine alternatives. Her current project "Unsettling White Trans Being, and the Overrepresentation of the Transgender Human: Towards Intercommunal Solidarity – An Argument" investigates the trajectory of 'Transgender' from an individual (white) identity category to a global hegemony of White Supremacy. And offers one possibility for white trans people to unsettle this liberal multicultural hegemony and the overrepresentation of white Transness as universal - moving towards an Intercommunal solidarity with all oppressed people globally. |
