Borders do not only police territory, they police intelligibility; this research group analyzes how struggles over sex, gender, and truth harden into evidence regimes that organize belonging/exclusion in media and policy debates as well as in sociology’s own categories of knowledge. With decolonial feminism guiding us, we treat the university as a site of mobilization for epistemic justice in Germany, where trans studies is unevenly institutionalized.   Using the Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse, we will assemble a localized media/policy corpus, build a codebook, write analytic memos, and create actor and dispositive maps to trace how expertise is authorized, how contested claims harden into common sense, what counts as scientific knowledge, and what political commitments emerge/backlashes occur. We will develop a short research brief and a public-facing discourse snapshot, policy sheet, or info graphic. Intended for MA students in social sciences; advanced BA by arrangement.
