DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, Canada has seen significant law reforms aimed
  at recognizing\, protecting\, and promoting the growing population of tra
 ns and other gender-diverse persons. The changes have been so fast and num
 erous that providers of legal services and the public have had trouble kee
 ping up\, as have many trans people. Moreover\, despite these changes\, ma
 rginalization and exclusion remain part of the lived reality of many trans
  individuals and communities. Questions arise about who remains “on the ma
 rgins” of trans legal change\, and about the unintended consequences of re
 cent law reforms.\n\nOn the Margins of Trans Legal Change is a two-day sym
 posium that will provide a platform to reflect critically on recent legal 
 changes and to consider the challenges facing individuals whom law reform 
 has yet to reach. This symposium will stimulate the development\, exchange
 \, and translation of interdisciplinary knowledge and community expertise 
 about the aftermath of legal reform and the possibilities for social justi
 ce with\, and beyond\, the law. We will survey legislative\, policy\, and 
 community-based solutions that aim to better recognize and protect diverse
  trans communities\, and to advance their flourishing. The symposium will 
 showcase analyses of the current Canadian trans legislative framework and 
 identify its gaps and unintended consequences. It will also foster and sus
 tain a network of established and emerging scholars\, community advocates\
 , and legal service providers across Canada.\n\nParticipants in the sympos
 ium will ask: What can we learn from research evidence and community proje
 cts addressing the experiences and perspectives of the populations and ind
 ividuals whose vulnerabilities\, needs\, or aspirations legal reforms have
  failed to meet? What are some of the potential uses and misuses of law as
  a tool for trans emancipation? Which realities and worldviews do dominant
  legal orders erase? Where is there space for transformative change?\n\nFo
