In this talk, I’ll share some of the key arguments from my book, <i>Disorienting Phenomenology: Queer Space and Trans Life</i> to flesh out a trans theory of space. What does it feel like to inhabit space(s) as a trans person? What can trans experience teach
us about the logics governing space? How can we queer space to transform its dominant, ‘common sense’ meanings and the oppressive socio-political orders that attend them? To answer these questions, I thread together philosophies of space and embodiment (specifically
phenomenology – the study of perception and consciousness) with geographic theories of social and spatial difference. I pursue an intersectional theory of relational space that begins from the experience of those minoritized and marginalized in space through
logics of race, gender, sexuality, and disability. I do so with the aim of developing an anti-oppressive knowledge and praxis of space.</div>
