Ecstatic to share my newest (& fav!) pub: "Trans Sex Work in Colonial North America: A Herstory" 💗 It traces the phenomenological link between trans femininity & sex work across time, zooming in on three micro-histories of trans women from 1650 to 1840. #transhistory #histsex

For anyone headed to Denver for @TheNACBS, I wanted to share I'll be presenting on a Friday panel about British trade & economy (lol)! My paper is about a brutal collision of worlds - the British fur trade and Indigenous trans feminine life - at Fort Vancouver in the 1830s.

(And by *wonderful*, I mean the conference was mostly women, very gay, and I got to attend sessions solely on Indigenous histories!) Shoutout to @OrHist for putting this together ☺️

Applications due next week!! Priority given to trans applicants. Very happy to answer any questions about UVic or living on Vancouver Island. In summary: run here as fast as you can.
Two new job postings at the UVic Trans Archives! 🎉 Two-year contracts at $75k/year, both Jan 2025 starts. Victoria is one of the safest places in the world for trans people, too. Would love to see another trans woman get one of these! 💗 Deadlines are November 13th & 15th.
