CO-SPONSORED SESSION: Lesbian-Feminisms and Religion Unit and Mysticism Unit
Call for Proposals
Trans Mysticism
The Lesbian-Feminisms and Religion Unit and the Mysticism Unit invite papers that explore trans spirituality and mystical practice. We are especially interested in papers that interrogate trans and lesbian-feminist spiritual practices that lay claim to deracinated beliefs and rituals, and papers that analyze claims of trans exceptionalism and the inherent sanctity of trans subjects. What logics of exclusion are reproduced through these spiritual practices? And what promises and limitations arise from an emphasis on healing in trans mysticism?
