Examining trans- healthcare as a key site through which struggles for health and justice take shape Over the past two decades, medical and therapeutic approaches to transgender patients have changed radically, from treating a supposed pathology to offering gender-affirming care. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in New York City and Buenos Aires, Care without Pathology moves across the Americas to show how trans- health activists have taken on the project of depathologization. In New York, Christoph Hanssmann examines activist attempts to overturn bans on using public health dollars to fund trans- health care. In Argentina, he traces how trans- activists marshaled medical statistics and personal biographies to reveal state violence directed against trans- people and travestis. Hanssmann also demonstrates the importance of understanding transphobia in the broader context of gendered racism, ableism, and antipoverty, arguing for the rise of a thoroughly coalition-based mass mobilization. Care without Pathology highlights the distributive arguments activists made to access state funding for health care, combating state arguments that funding trans- health care is too specialized, too expensive, and too controversial. Hanssmann situates trans- health as a crucible within which sweeping changes are taking place-with potentially far-reaching effects on the economic and racial barriers to accessing care.

Science and Social Justice is a short, accessible textbook aimed at practicing scientists, physicians, technologists, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics and Medicine) or STEMM high school and undergraduate students across fields, and general public readers, such as citizen scientists, who are interested in doing community-based research. It will also be of interest in undergraduate health sciences fields (Global Health, Public Health, Medical Anthropology, Engineering), as well as in the natural sciences, Ethnic Studies and Cultural Studies classrooms.This short textbook takes readers, step-by-step, through the journey of designing and implementing an intervention or research project that is intended to forward both scientific and social justice ends. By taking concepts, methods and epistemologies of equity and justice from the humanistic social sciences and making them accessible to audiences in STEAM/STEMM, this short textbook can transform how community based projects in the sciences and applied sciences are taught, designed and researched. The book offers critical concepts, examples, tips and friendly warnings for how to develop collaborative, non-hierarchical, and long-term relations, practices and research tools for working with communities. Science and Social Justice is a guide for practicing science for and with the people.The arc of the book takes the reader through the timeline of a community-based collaboration between STEMM/STEAM practitioners and ‘lay’ communities. We begin by presenting questions of urgency and orientation that are needed before beginning a collaboration. We then move to examining what it means to do social justice driven community work, to how to build and maintain relations with community partners, and to dealing with the effects of research or interventions and any unintended consequences. The length of the book (approximately 5,000 words) is designed for readability and to offer a range of illustrative examples of community-based scientific research gone both wrong and right.
