Biography

Tey Meadow is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at Columbia University. Their research focuses on the experiences of transgender individuals, particularly through the lens of 'desistance'—the term often associated with the cessation of gender identity transition among transgender individuals. Meadow has contributed to the field through various publications, including their work on queer methods in sociology and the intersection of gender and youth culture in the contemporary landscape. By examining the nuanced language used to describe trans experiences, Meadow aims to uncover the deeper implications of societal narratives surrounding gender nonconformity. They are actively involved in discussions about how identity is constructed and perceived in sociological contexts, and their work aims to illuminate the complexities faced by gender diverse individuals today. Meadow's scholarship is informed by a commitment to robust, critical engagement with existing discourses and seeks to challenge prevalent stereotypes and assumptions.
