Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Francyne Huckabyb0a028670024a30dbf6459126ac0b17fe5ed9174Jack Halberstam is a tenured professor in the Department of English and Comparative Literature and the Institute for Research on Women, Gender, and Sexuality at Columbia University. For his own schooling, Halberstam earned a B.A. in English at the University of California, Berkeley, an M.A. and a Ph.D from the University of Minnesota. Halberstam was assigned female at birth, and since then has undergone a shift from she/her to he/him, but is very fluid in how he is addressed. There are some things that he finds okay (people still calling him Judith) and some that he does not find okay (grouping him in with someone else who is a female, and then calling them ladies). In his writings, he is addressed as either Jack or Judith, but does not seem to have a preference on which one, as seen in his publications.
In his research, Halberstam focuses on female masculinity and tomboys while discussing the by-product and results of gender and gender pronouns. In addition, Halberstam has written about “the bathroom problem” when it comes to transgender youth and adults. Recently, he has appeared in a variety of places in the United States and internationally to lecture on sex and the media, gender variance, and queerness in general. He is currently working on projects surrounding fascism and homosexuality. Halberstam has been nominated three times for the Lambda Literary Awards.
