Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)
Apocalypse is both cataclysm and unveiling, inflection point and revelation of truth. Cultivating liberation and joy, as trans people show us, is a key part of human survival. In the cataclysmic unveilings of our time, where do trans/gender diverse people find meaning, liberation and joy? This panel offers five perspectives on that question with sensitivity and imagination, in projects such as writing gender divergent fanfiction of biblical text, uncovering queer/trans historiographies, imagining new ways of understanding gender through creative writing, exploring trans and queer identities as imago dei, and opening the undergraduate classroom to trans and queer readings of sacred text.
