Biography

Ann Travers is a Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Simon Fraser University. Her recent book, "Trans Generation: Trans Kids (and Parents) Creating Gender Revolution," sheds light on the experiences of transgender children within Canadian white settler contexts characterized by significant social inequalities. Travers's central research focus includes the intersection of transgender children and youth, alongside an extensive examination of sports and social justice, particularly regarding the inclusion and exclusion of women and queer trans individuals. Her current work centers on gender equity in youth baseball, where she leads an interdisciplinary research team investigating electric micro-mobilities from a mobility justice perspective. Travers has published widely in the realm of social theory, sport sociology, and social movements, contributing to both peer-reviewed journals and books. In recognition of her contributions, she has received various awards including the 2018 Excellence in Teaching Award and was the winner of the 2019 PROSE Award in the category of Social Sciences.
