Thinking With and Across Queer and Trans Theories

Section 12: Queer Theories and Transgender Theories

New!

From: Critical Social Work Praxis

$1.20

The concepts that Cameron Greensmith introduces in the theory chapter may be particularly helpful to students who are entering these fields of studies for the first time. Through a survey of some of the theoretical influences on queer and trans theories, Greensmith demonstrates that these theories are varied and diverse, and at times messy and contradictory. However, Greensmith also argues that messiness and contradictions do not overshadow the importance that queer and trans theories place on social change and radicality, or their contributions to social work.
