Public health researchers and clinicians regularly work with people
who have suffered physical and mental trauma. Knowing how to
conduct a study or treat a patient while navigating deep emotional
issues requires special skills and overall awareness of how trauma
can impact the process and outcomes of participating in research
and/or receiving health care. This book presents a diverse array of
case examples from scholars of health-related topics, focusing on
biographical narrative as a window into understanding key needs in
trauma informed scholarship and medicine. Exploring stories from
people of varied backgrounds, experiences, and contexts can help
professionals within and beyond the academic research and clinical
care spheres create rewarding experiences for patients. Negotiating
the Emotional Challenges of Conducting Deeply Personal Research in
Health will be of interest to public health practitioners,
educators and researchers as well as students.
This book utilizes collaborative autoethnography to examine
transformations in health and aging among queer, trans, and
intersex people in society. To this end, the authors each utilize
their lived experiences as queer, trans, and/or intersex people to
discuss inequalities and norms in U.S. healthcare. Further, they
elaborate upon some ways U.S. healthcare systems may become more
inclusive of queer, trans, and intersex populations over time. In
so doing, they utilize the autoethnographic cases to illustrate and
describe the complexities of sex, gender, and sexualities in health
and aging as well as the ways such intricacies facilitate societal
inequalities in health and aging.
Transmission is a story about transformation and the development of
self-love. After 20 years of traveling throughout the U.S., Millie
Morrison returns to her hometown to make sense of the experiences
and relationships that have shaped her life. In so doing, Millie
explores where she came from, what moments linger despite the
passage of time, and who she is and wants to be standing on the
edge of 40 years old. Her journey thus becomes a consideration on
how we incorporate what who we are with who others expect us to be.
... From “Transmission” “I guess you’re right, or I’m
right, we’re right maybe. I guess I’m very emotional right now.
I haven’t thought about Josie in years, I just haven’t, it was
almost like I forgot her somehow. The song started playing, and I
know you always said I had way too much of an emotional reaction to
that song, but it started playing and I could see her. I don’t
mean I was thinking about her, necessarily, it was different. I
could see her, three years old in pig tails, seven years old
dancing in the grass, twelve years old climbing the magnolia tree
in front of her house that her mother was allergic to, fifteen
years old showing me how to do my makeup that night before we all
went out to the party out in the field on the edge of the park. I
could see her like she was really there. I could hear her voice. I
could feel her laugh. The tears just flooded me. There was no
warning. She just came crashing back into my head like she’d
always been there, maybe hiding somewhere waiting for the right
moment.”
America through Transgender Eyes provides an opportunity for
readers to look at American society through the eyes of transgender
people at a time when movements for and against transgender people
permeate socio-political discussions throughout the nation. This
book provides readers with important insights into the beauty and
struggle of transgender people, identities, experiences, and
relationships. At a time when political, religious, and scientific
traditions update their arguments in relation to growing
recognition of transgender lives and histories, America through
Transgender Eyes offers an opportunity to visualize the way such
traditions appear through the eyes of some of the people often left
out of them. As political battles about the rights of transgender
Americans grow throughout the nation, this book provides an
important introduction to this population for voters, leaders,
activists, and scholars seeking to make sense of the shifting
gender dynamics of contemporary America.

The Rowman & Littlefield Handbook of Transgender Studies is a
comprehensive yet concise overview of the important issues, themes,
and research on transgender people and populations. Coupling both
their expertise along with their lived experiences, the authors in
this contributed volume tackle topics including, but not limited
to, medical care, education, coming out, the creation of families,
and bathroom and military politics and possibilities. The volume
opens with an introduction from the editor who outlines her own
journey and experience searching for information on "transgender
studies" when the term was first introduced to her in 2014. Since
then, the field has risen in prominence and is one of the fastest
growingareas of research in gender studies. Scholars and students
alike will find this to be an accessible primer to the societal
forces that impact and shape the lives of transgender people.
Black Lives and Bathrooms: Racial and Gendered Reactions to
Minority Rights Movements examines how people respond to minority
movements in ways that maintain existing patterns of racial and
gender inequality. By studying the Black Lives Matter and
Transgender Bathroom Access movement efforts, J.E. Sumerau and Eric
Anthony Grollman analyze how cisgender white people define minority
movements in relation to their existing notions of United States
social norms; react to minority movements utilizing racial,
classed, gendered, and sexual stereotypes that reinforce racism,
sexism, and cissexism in society; and propose ways that racial and
gender minorities could gain conditional acceptance by behaving in
ways cisgender white people find more comfortable and normal.
Throughout this work, Sumerau and Grollman note how assumptions
about whiteness and cisnormativity are spread as cisgender white
people respond to racial and gender movements seeking social
change.

This book explores the ways Christian women in college make sense
of bisexual, transgender, polyamorous, and atheist others.
Specifically, it explores the ways they express tolerance for some
sexual groups, such as lesbian and gay people, while maintaining
condemnation of other sexual, gendered, or religious groups. In so
doing, this book highlights the limits of Christian tolerance for
the advancement of minority rights.

This book will touch on all of the hot topic issues of masculinity
and violence, including gun violence, sexual assault and the #MeToo
movement, violence against women, LGBT people, and people of color.
Its unique approach will add to many conversations that should, as
Sumerau explains, be focused on masculinity, and are far too often
focused on something else. Taking the approach of talking with
young college men who are privileged provides a unique look at how
manhood and masculinity may not be progressing like many people
hope and provides insights from all angles to critically examine
the ways men construct and explain relationships between violence,
manhood, and inequality in society.
