Pedagogies of Travesti Liberation

Maria Clara Araújo dos Passos - Pedagogies of Travesti Liberation
Maria Clara Araújo dos Passos examines the interplay of education, identity, and liberation in Brazil's travesti community.
In Pedagogies of Travesti Liberation, Maria Clara Araújo dos Passos critiques traditional pedagogical frameworks that marginalize gender nonconforming narratives and highlights the effects of systemic discrimination on travestis' psychosocial well-being. The book advocates for inclusive educational practices and emphasizes the need for affirmative curricula.
Newly translated from Portuguese, this work contributes towards connecting political struggles globally and navigating the complexities of translation—particularly of the term "travesti"—across various geographical and political contexts, featuring a conversation between Araújo dos Passos and translator Natália Affonso.
Maria Clara Araújo dos Passos (born 1996 in Recife) is a Brazilian Afro-transfeminist educator and sociologist, and an activist for LGBT rights.
Contributions by Jurema Mombaça; Natália Affonso, Luce deLire.
