 th Allison Campbell (GRSJ PhD Candidate) as they discuss Dr. Lowik's new bo
 ok\, "Trans People and the Choreography of Reproductive Healthcare: Dancing
  Outside the Lines." Based on their PhD dissertation research\, this talk w
 ill explore how reproductive healthcare is choreographically delivered in w
 ays that presume that the person accessing it will be cisgender. As a resul
 t\, trans people are altogether erased\, systematically unanticipated\, ins
 ufficiently accommodated and understood only in relation to hegemonic regul
 atory frameworks. Drawing on qualitative interviews and participatory photo
 graphy with fourteen trans people from British Columbia\, Dr. Lowik's work 
 uses dance as a metaphor to expose facets of the restrictive choreography o
 f reproductive healthcare\, and to document the improvisational tactics use
 d by trans people in pursuit of care that is competent\, safe\, and affirmi
 ng. Today's event will include a book reading\, moderated discussion and ti
 me for audience questions.<br />[alert title="Book Publishing for Grad Stud
 ents 1:45PM - 2:45PM " text="After their Noted Scholar Series talk\, A.J. L
 owik will host a one hour session about book publishing. This informal chat
  and discussion will consider the processes\, timelines\, and writing pract
 ices for publishing scholarly works in books\, from chapters in edited coll
 ections\, to editing a collection yourself\, to turning your dissertation i
 nto a book. All GRSJ graduate students are welcome to attend."]</p><hr /><p
