In recent years, the field of clinical management of gender in children has expanded and new approaches to gender variant children have emerged. In this webinar, Sahar Sadjadi traces the shifts and continuities in the clinical paradigm that has shaped diagnostic and treatment practices around gender variant children in the early 21st century. Based on her ethnographic research in the US, she analyzes the cultural conceptions of the relation between the body and the self that inform clinical thought and practice and considers how childhood became a privileged site for tracing the authenticity of identity. She addresses the temporal and affective politics governing medical interventions that seek to avert future suffering and enhance the life chances of gender variant children. 🎓 About the lecturer: Sahar Sadjadi is an anthropologist, medical doctor and Assistant Professor of Social Studies of Medicine at McGill University. She received her MD from Tehran University and her PhD from Columbia University. She has held research fellowships at the Graduate Center, CUNY, Paris Institute for Advanced Study and Princeton University. Dr. Sadjadi’s research lies at the intersection of anthropology of medicine, gender and sexuality studies and childhood studies. Her previous research focused on the AIDS epidemic in Iran. She is currently completing a book manuscript on a multi-sited ethnography of the clinical practices that have emerged around childhood gender nonconformity in the United States. Her new project is a transnational ethnography of contemporary sexology.
