“We Don’t Own Kids”: On the “Inconvenience” of Transgender in Childhood
This paper examines arguments that defend anti-transgender policies and legislation aiming to censor discussions about gender identity and restrict access to affirming interventions in three Canadian provinces. Building on psychoanalysis and queer theory, we suggest that such policies and legislation are symptomatic of an increasingly precarious and volatile social and political world in which transgender existence is a target of projected anxiet…
Transgender Embodiment as an Appeal to Thought: "A Psychoanalytic Critique of "Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria
In this article, we offer a psychoanalytic reading of controversies over “rapid onset gender dysphoria” (popularly known as ROGD), defined as a sudden expression of gender dysphoria in late adolescence and young adulthood where there had not purportedly been evidence of childhood dysphoric experience. We begin by tracing the emergence of the term in relation to contemporary debates about gender, free speech, and academic freedom. Turning to the p…
The failure of thought: Childhood and evildoing in the shadow of traumatic inheritance
Cast No Shadow (2015) tells the story of 13-year-old Jude Traynor, a kid deemed by his rural community to be a “delinquent” who ruins lives and never sticks to his word. The film opens on a roaring

Education's difficult work, in Arendt's view, is not only to introduce students to the truths of the world as it is, but also to nurture the capacity to make this world become something new. But what are the psychic difficulties inherent in allowing subjects to…

Touched by injury: Toward an educational theory of anti-racist humanism
Informed by the critical humanisms of Hannah Arendt, Frantz Fanon, and Paul Gilroy, the authors argue for an orientation to teaching and learning that troubles the continuing effects of dehumanizing race logic. Reflecting on Paul Haggis's Oscar award winning film Crash from 2004, they suggest that the metaphor of racial ‘crashing’ captures what happens when we act out from experiences of racial injury instead of being touched by it. They propose …
