Maria Clara Araújo Dos Passos: Pedagogies of Travesti Liberation

In Pedagogies of Travesti Liberation, Maria Clara Araújo dos Passos critiques traditional pedagogical frameworks that marginalize gender nonconforming narratives and highlights the effects of systemic discrimination on travestis’ psychosocial well-being. The book advocates for inclusive educational practices and emphasizes the need for affirmative curricula.
Newly translated from Portuguese, this work contributes towards connecting political struggles globally and navigating the complexities of translation—particularly of the term “travesti”—across various geographical and political contexts, featuring a conversation between Araújo dos Passos and translator Natália Affonso.
