support the efforts of our colleagues to start up a new interdisciplinary academic journal that will change the way the world thinks about transgender issues!</font><br>
<br>
<b style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly</b><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif"> will be the journal of record for the vibrant, rapidly evolving interdisciplinary field of Transgender Studies--and
you can be part of its groundbreaking debut in 2014. It will be co-edited by Dr. Susan Stryker (University of Arizona) and Dr. Paisley Currah (CUNY-Brooklyn), and published by Duke University Press.</font><br>
<br>

<br>
<font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif">Drs. Stryker and Currah are seeking donations to subsidize the first issues of the journal. Once the journal is launched in April 2014, subscriptions will eventually cover the cost of publication. They
have already raised more than half of the 100,000 USD they need. Your support will help create a first-rate platform for publishing peer-reviewed transgender-related scholarship—something that can only benefit the entire field of gender and sexuality studies.
</font><br>
<br>
<font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif">Here’s a preview of the first five issues of TSQ:</font><br>
<br>
<font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif">TSQ 1:1+2, “Postposttransexual: Terms for a 21st Century Transgender Studies,” will be a special double issue of short essays on key concepts in transgender studies.
</font><br>
<br>
<font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif">TSQ 1:3, “Decolonizing the Transgender Imaginary,” will explore cross-cultural analysis of sex/gender variation, and bring transgender studies into critical engagement with ethnography and anthropology.</font><br>
<br>
<font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif">TSQ 1:4, “Trans Cultural Production,” will be devoted to the arts, film, literature, and performance.
</font><br>
<br>
<font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif">TSQ 2:1 “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. </font><br>
<br>
<font class="Apple-style-span" face="Calibri,sans-serif">Support at any level (from 10-3000 USD!) is welcome--please contribute what you can today!
