Digital Me

Reviews / Votes

"Although institutions of higher education have been important producers of queer and trans theories of gender, those theories have not led to radical changes in how institutions organize themselves as spaces of white, cis gendered, heteronormativity. In response the authors ask what might the future of higher education look like if we take seriously the world and self-making creativity of trans students? A deeply moving book, Digital Me bears witness to the cultivation of online trans lives, and provides sustenance, for students and teachers alike, for those who want to expand the world building possibilities of trans life and knowledge."

"Digital Me is an exciting, timely contribution to ongoing academic and public conversations about the role of the internet in trans and queer lives. With a fresh set of data to work with, the authors richly theorize the online worlds of trans self-making and community-building. I trust this will soon become a dependable resource for trans college students and those who care about them."- V Varun Chaudhry, Assistant Professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Brandeis University
"A smart, useful and frankly overdue study of gender-marginalized people finding self and building community in the chaotic spaces of social media, online cultures, and digital platforms that permeate our lives."
- Susan Stryker, Author of Transgender History: The Roots of Today's Revolution
