Book Synopsis:

unbinaried is a collaboration between Rainbow Bedfordshire and the radical education and humanities group, a loose collective of academics at the University of Bedfordshire.

unbinaried, which amplifies voices from within the Bedfordshire community, is an anthology of writing and artwork across genres, which explores gendered experiences and embraces trans+ identities.

Our contributors include trans+, gender-non-conforming, and allied writers – academics, poets, illustrators, community members, and first-time authors alike. Each piece we have been trusted with contributes to an open-ended dialogue.

We hope unbinaried provides a space for listening, reflection, and learning about differently embodied experiences of gender, May these pages make room for exploration, compassion, insight, and conversation. We hope this will be the first instalment of a continual collection, and that one day, it might unbinary your voice too.

Compiled and edited by Shelby Davies and Katie O’Pray with crucial support from Dr Oliver Belas and Dr Alex Baird
