Project Summary

My doctoral project comprises a historical and ethnographic tracing of the local, regional and transnational networks that impact ontological negotiations over categories of sex and gender by Lebanese state institutions and agencies. It will further consider how the negotiation and application of diverse ontologies of sex and gender impact everyday and embodied dimensions of citizenship across medical, legal and administrative contexts.
