Hunger involves feelings of isolation, starvation, dysphoria and rage, while fulfilment involves feelings of connection, satisfaction and euphoria. In coming-of-age novels by Joshua Whitehead, Kai Cheng Thom and Vivek Shraya, affects of hunger and fulfilment come to represent means of healing from forms of insidious trauma generated by transphobic environments.
A question-and-answer period will follow the talk.
