CJ Jones earned their PhD in feminist studies from UC Santa Barbara and their MA in American Studies from SUNY Buffalo. Her research examines how cisgender and transgender subjectivities are (re)configured through the lens of sports, especially women’s sports. Their current book project, “Governing Bodies: Trans Politics, Embodiment, and Sports,” analyzes the political contours of both trans-inclusive and trans-exclusionary discourses in contemporary sports and situates them within broader sociopolitical struggles over the meaning and malleability of gender at the local, national and global levels.
