From November onwards, we will regularly publish new episodes of Jamie Rose’s podcast, entitled TRANSHISTORY, which in a dialogue with Johanna Nejedlová addresses the question of what it means or has meant to be trans.

Via information about the lives of historical trans figures, the podcast provides members of the trans community with the opportunity to place their own lives within a broader context which reaches far back into history, and at the same time enables the wider public to understand that this is in no way a modern phenomenon, but rather a gender experience which has existed here since time immemorial

The author of the podcast is Jamie Emma Rose, an activist and PhD student at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University in Prague in the field of Anglophone literature and culture, who in her academic work focuses primarily on Anglophone transgender literature.

Johanna Nejedlová is a founding member of the initiative Konsent.

The podcast will be released once every 14 days on podcast platforms such as Mixcloud, Soundcloud and Apple Podcasts.

It is part of the project QUEERING. AN ENDLESS NUMBER OF POTENTIAL NATURES, a series of lectures, discussions and workshops taking place in co-operation with figures from the field of activism, the exact sciences and fine arts, focusing on the search for new forms of evolutionary processes, ecological interactions and policies from the perspective of queer and feminist theory, and inter-disciplinary co-operation.
