“Workin’ it” is the term used by transgender women in San Francisco to describe the array of practices that sustain their individual and collective forms of life. These practices are the subject of Christopher Roebuck’s dissertation in Anthropology, Workin’ It: Transgender Embodiment, Ethics, and the Labor of Life. Roebuck draws upon insights in the humanities, social sciences and life sciences to study transgender-related medical care, social movements, and kinship.
