The Northwestern University Digital Humanities Laboratory Research Workshop invites you to join us for:

Jillana Enteen, “Technologies of Transitioning in Thailand: Create-your-own-Surgery, One-Click SRS and other Opportunities Online for Surgery Tourism”

This paper advances queer methodologies by looking at how websites generated in Thailand to attract Western medical tourists depict bodies in transition: both from the perspectives of sex/gender surgeries and transnational travel. The tools of digital humanities enable database collection and cultural studies claims about the shifting strategies and multiple translations deployed.
