Book 4, Ep. 5 | Trans Studies with Taylor Allgeier-Follett

This is a must-listen, Witches!


Guest Taylor Allgeier-Follet joins Hannah and Marcelle for a conversation on Trans Studies and The Goblet of Fire. Taylor (they/them) is a PhD candidate at University College Dublin who brings their expertise as both an academic and a person who has read the Harry Potter series over forty times. In this episode, Taylor, Hannah and Marcelle dive into transcoding and transphobia as it relates to the characterization of Rita Skeeter. If you're interested in the evolution of Trans Studies and Trans Theory, then you'll love this episode that stems from the work of Susan Stryker, Grace Lavery, Patricia Elliot and Lawrence Lyons — just to name a few.
