TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal covering transgender studies, with an emphasis on cultural studies and the humanities. [1] Established in 2014 and published by Duke University Press, it is the first non-medical journal about transgender studies. [2]
The founding editors-in-chief are Susan Stryker ( University of Arizona) and Paisley Currah ( Brooklyn College and Graduate Center, CUNY), [3] and were joined by Francisco J. Galarte ( University of Arizona) in 2019. [4]
In the introduction to the first issue, Currah and Stryker state that they intend the journal to be a gathering place for different ideas within the field of transgender studies, and that they embrace multiple definitions of transgender. [5]
In an interview about the journal, Stryker stated that she felt she had been working on the first issue since the 1990s. [1] While co-editing a special transgender studies issue of Women's Studies Quarterly in 2008, Stryker and Currah realized the need for a publication dedicated to the topic, [6] when they received over 200 submissions for the special issue but were only able to publish 12. [1] [3] In May 2013, they started a month-long Kickstarter campaign to help fund the journal. [7] They received more than US$10,000 in donations in the first five days; by the end of the campaign, the journal had nearly $25,000 in crowdfunded capital. [7] [8]
Because the first call for submissions drew a considerable amount of interest, the first issue was expanded into a book-length double issue with 86 essays. [8] [9] The title of the first issue, "Postposttranssexual", comes from Sandy Stone's 1992 article " The Empire Strikes Back: A Posttranssexual Manifesto", which has been called the start of transgender studies. [1] [10] Each essay in this issue focuses on key concepts within transgender studies. [11]
Each issue of TSQ addresses specific themes, with the exception of the un-themed, open call issue released February 1, 2018. Past issue themes have included surgery, pedagogy, archives, trans/feminisms, and blackness. [12]
