TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly is a peer-reviewed academic journal devoted to transgender studies, with an emphasisis on cultural studies and the humanities.[1] It is the first non-medical journal in this area.[2]

The founding editors-in-chief are Susan Stryker (University of Arizona) and Paisley Currah (Brooklyn College and Graduate Center, CUNY).[3]

Stryker and Currah were alerted to the need for such a journal in 2008, when they co-edited a special transgender studies issue of Women's Studies Quarterly.[3][4] They needed 12 articles but received more than 200 submissions.[1][3] In May 2013, they started a month-long Kickstarter campaign to help fund the journal.[5] They received more than US$10,000 in donations in the first five days; by the end of the campaign, the journal had nearly US$25,000 in crowdfunded capital.[5][6]

Publication history

The first call for submissions drew a considerable amount of interest.[6] As such, the first issue was expanded into a book-length double issue comprising 86 essays.[6][7] Only two issues were published in 2016, as they were both double issues.[8]
