I share this syllabus bc I'm one of a tiny handful of university faculty in the UK who teach trans history at a specialist level, & I'd like there to be more of us! I learned the field from scratch post-PhD, bc at my prev institution it was politically necessary - which means that you can too!
Updated my grad syllabus for the new year! The latest version of the weekly schedule and readings is now on the Teaching page of my website: samuelrutherford.com/teaching/

Stopped off at Hardwick Hall on the way down from north Yorkshire today. Unfortunately the excellent portrait of Hobbes has been put into storage but the bust remains in place, staring at Francis Bacon
