As we move forward, these connections will be essential in continuing to support one another as we carry this momentum into future work, building on shared insights and ensuring that these dialogues remain a core part of the study of the Weimar period.

The exchange of ideas throughout the conference not only deepened our understanding of queer and trans* Weimar studies, but also laid the groundwork for future partnerships, projects & conversations.

Dr. Molly Harrabin @mharrabin.bsky.social · 01/04/2026
Participants also explored a wide range of case studies & highlighted the innovative ways of approaching the history & culture of queer and trans* Weimar. I am so grateful to all participants for their eloquent & thoughtful insights.

The second day of the conference (purposefully) took place on International Transgender Day of Visibility. As scholars, this date encourages us to think critically about what it has meant, & continues to mean, to be seen. How do we read, represent, and give meaning to the past?

As a cis-het woman, I am especially conscious of the responsibility to listen, learn, and use my position to create space for others' voices. Co-hosting this conference has been both an intellectual and personal reminder of the important of solidarity, care & ongoing critical engagement.

Dr. Molly Harrabin @mharrabin.bsky.social · 01/04/2026
In the current international political landscape, it is more vital than ever that we continue to study, write about, and amplify the lives and works of queer and trans* people. Turning to the history of the Weimar Republic sadly reminds us that our present-day struggles are sadly not new.

Talks included discussions of queer periodicals, visual engagements with sexology, ecoqueer criticism, legacies of fascism, & queer & trans* ways of rethinking history. Extremely clear: Weimar Studies is a rich field with ongoing relevance for contemporary scholarship and activism!

Intentionally, one day of the conference took place on International Transgender Day of Visibility. As scholars, this date encourages us to think critically about what it has meant, and what it continues to mean, to be seen. How do we, as scholars read, represent, and give meaning to the past?

Do you teach/research gender/sexuality w/ German sources? Have you had access issues or needed to translate sources yourself bc English versions don’t exist? Fill in this survey (by 2/15) to identify core texts for an anthology of translations in scientific & literary sexology between 1890 & 1930.
