is a recently published book by Ksenija Koksimovic based on her IMAESC dissertation with part of a joint supervisory input from the .

 

This book introduces an anti-oppressive, critical, and intersectional approach to social justice activism and education, and adult education for social change.   

IMAESC stands for , the Erasmus Mundus Master degree programme in which the University of Malta participates. 

This book examines how state governments, laws, policies, institutions, and systems of dominant hegemonic ideologies, such as education systems, the legal systems, and their gatekeepers influence the social position and epistemic agency of transgender and gender non-conforming people (TGNC), therefore shaping their social justice activist and educator identity development.  

The research was conducted in 2018 during IMAESC's  first cohort programme. The  Master thesis research was conducted with eight TGNC social justice activists and educators from eight different countries, who were at the time in leadership positions in organisations working on the advancement of LGBTQI human rights.

This volume seeks  to help readers understand and interpret power structures, power relations and inequalities in society which determine the social positionality of trans activists and influence the formation and development of their activist identity. It also challenges them by raising critical consciousness and questioning dominant cultural, political, and social domains which determine knowledge production. It advocates for a trans-affirming, inter-sectional approach to educational provision, theory, and research.
