News A New Gender Zine about the Sexual Configurations Theory is Released in Belarusian

Dear colleagues,
We would like to share the news about the release of the Belarusian translation of a gender zine about the Sexual Configurations Theory (SCT). The translation was carried out by researchers Andrei Klishin (University of Washington) and Uladzislaŭ Harbacki (European Humanities University, Vilnius). It’s an informal popular science booklet about the Sexual Configurations Theory (SCT). The theory itself was developed by Prof. Sari van Anders, and the English original was created by Alex Iantaffi, Meg-John Barker, and Jules Scheele. SCT proposes a broader range of terms to discuss gender identity and sexual orientation. What exists beyond the binary classes of men and women, gays and straights, vanilla and kink? What space does the diversity of gender/sex identities occupy and how to find oneself in that space? These are the mapping questions that SCT addresses.
