A fantastic opportunity for trans/queer scholars. Grad students and Early Career scholars are encouraged to apply! Pass this along to anyone who might be interested

I'm so excited to be co-editing the volume on Antiquity. This is going to be an AMAZING volume which will demonstrate why trans studies is so important to the historical study of gender. See call here! https://t.co/7csFqCAGeV

@idouTheHoke @theaemrys @JosephAMarchal1 H. Christian Blood (who has done good work on the Galli in Apuleius' Metamorphoses), and Ky Merkley (who is broadly working on a dissertation on what trans theory contributes to Classical studies primarily looking at Imperial Roman literature)

Retweeting this far and wide. Want to contribute to a broad premodern trans studies bibliography? Whether you have a whole developed bibliography or just a couple things to contribute, let's crowd source this thing.

[Trans in Classics @TransinClassics]

Here's a fantastic a reminder that gender-inclusive Latin pedagogy doesn't take a whole lot of extra work and makes a tremendous difference to our trans, enby, and gender nonconforming students. Kudos to @maticiceronian for this activity!

[Trans in Classics @TransinClassics]

Reminder that we have a discord server for trans, non-binary, or gender nonconforming classicists. If you want a community come and join us! Help us spread the word and provide a community for those who very often desperately need one. DM us for details! #ClassicsTwitter

[Trans in Classics @TransinClassics]

An important venue for discussing the kinds of conversations Classics needs to have. We'd love to encourage submissions and participation! #ClassicsTwitter

[Charlie Roberts @Camlatintutor]

Need some Latin related gender inclusivity help please. @TransinClassics & @LupercalLegit wrote an excellent style guide for this kind of thing, but is there *more* out there that a friend can use to help her case lobbying for change?
