TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal covering transgender studies, with an emphasis on cultural studies and the humanities.[1] Established in 2014 and published by Duke University Press, it is the first non-medical journal about transgender studies.[2]

The founding editors-in-chief are Susan Stryker (University of Arizona) and Paisley Currah (Brooklyn College and Graduate Center, CUNY),[3] and were joined by Francisco J. Galarte (University of Arizona) in 2019.[4]

## Publication history

[edit]

In the introduction to the first issue, Currah and Stryker state that they intend the journal to be a gathering place for different ideas within the field of transgender studies, and that they embrace multiple definitions of transgender.[5]

In an interview about the journal, Stryker stated that she felt she had been working on the first issue since the 1990s.[1] While co-editing a special transgender studies issue of Women's Studies Quarterly in 2008, Stryker and Currah realized the need for a publication dedicated to the topic,[6] when they received over 200 submissions for the special issue but were only able to publish 12.[1][3] In May 2013, they started a month-long Kickstarter campaign to help fund the journal.[7] They received more than US$10,000 in donations in the first five days; by the end of the campaign, the journal had nearly $25,000 in crowdfunded capital.[7][8]

Because the first call for submissions drew a considerable amount of interest, the first issue was expanded into a book-length double issue with 86 essays.[8][9] The title of the first issue, "Postposttranssexual", comes from Sandy Stone's 1987 article "The Empire Strikes Back: A Posttranssexual Manifesto", which has been called the start of transgender studies.[1][10] Each essay in this issue focuses on key concepts within transgender studies.[11]

Each issue of TSQ addresses specific themes, with the exception of the un-themed, open call issue released February 1, 2018. Past issue themes have included surgery, pedagogy, archives, trans/feminisms, and blackness.[12]
