I’m reaching out regarding a proposed forthcoming academic volume titled Other(ed) Worlds: Transgender Representations in Lusophone and Portuguese-Based Creole Societies, which I will be editing. This volume will be part of Trans Studies, a book series published by Bloomsbury Academic and edited by Dr. Douglas Vakoch (General Editor) and Courtney Morales (Senior Acquisitions Editor).

This proposed volume will bring together interdisciplinary essays exploring transgender narratives, identities, and resistances in the Lusophone World (from Portugal and Brazil to Lusophone Africa and Asia) / regions shaped by Portuguese colonial legacies (Africa, Asia, and the Americas).

I am especially interested in engaging with scholars working on transgender issues in the Lusophone world, including Goa, Damão, Diu, Macau, Sri Lanka, Malacca, and other Portuguese-based Creole contexts.

The volume will include contributions in English and will foreground underrepresented voices, oral traditions, and community-based knowledge focusing on transgender issues in the broader Lusophone world.
