Ambivalent Tran s Depathologization in the Canadian Prison\n\nHistorically\, prison author ities have cited security concerns to justify policies relying on trans pr isoners’ genitalia alone – meaning\, on their pre- or post-surgical status – to decide on which side of sex-segregation to place them. In Canada\, r ecent legislative changes have partially shifted the norms of trans recogn ition from a reliance on bio-essentialist trans ‘pathologization’ to an in creasing affirmation of gender ‘self-determination’. In turn\, human right s complaint cases and mounting pressure from trans and other advocates hav e gradually forced prison authorities to rethink and reform their manageme nt of gendered difference. Informed by two years of multi-sited fieldwork conducted across Canada\, I describe the emergence of a new\, ostensibly d epathologized trans policy regime. However\, this talk reveals that if new policies promised to affirm gender self-determination\, they have also re mained in a chronic and ambivalent tension with prisons’ risk-management m andate.\n DTSTART:20190221T210000Z DTEND:20190221T223000Z LOCATION:Room LEA 429\, Leacock Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2T7\, 8 55 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Esquisses Speaker Series: 'Inclusive Exclusions\, or Exclusive Incl usions?
