Merging critical theory, autobiography, and sexological archival research, Queer Embodiment provides insight into what it means, and has meant, to have a legible body in the West. Hilary Malatino explores how and why intersexuality became an anomalous embodiment requiring correction and how contesting this pathologization can promote medical reform and human rights for intersex and trans persons. The panelists who will discuss this important new book include:

• Author: Hilary Malatino, Assistant Professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and Research Associate in the Rock Ethics Institute at Penn State
• Critic: Amanda Swarr, Associate Professor of Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Washington
