digital trans reading list
by Oliver Haimson 01 Jan '18

01 Jan '18

Happy new year everyone! In the past few years as I’ve been working on my PhD research about gender transition and social media, I have compiled a list of all of the published research I have come across about transgender people and digital technology, digital and social media, and the Internet. The list is on my website and is sortable by author, year, title, item type, or publication venue: http://oliverhaimson.com/digitaltrans.html I wanted to share my list with you all so that it can be a resource for scholars who are also studying these topics, or who may want to start doing research in this area! I am certain that I am missing some important pieces, and I expect this list to grow over time. Please email me (ohaimson(a)uci.edu) with additions, and I will add them to the list. Disclaimer: I have read most but not all of these pieces, and while most of them are respectful and sensitive to trans people, some are not; yet I include them on the list for the sake of completeness. -- Oliver Haimson PhD Candidate, Informatics, UC Irvine oliverhaimson.com recent publications: - Relationship Breakup Disclosures and Media Ideologies on Facebook. O.L. Haimson, N. Andalibi, M. De Choudhury, G.R. Hayes. *New Media & Society*. - Changes in Social Media Affect, Disclosure, and Sociality for a Sample of Transgender Americans in 2016's Political Climate. O.L. Haimson, G.R. Hayes. *ICWSM 2017*.
