Queer Engaged Buddhism explores the relationship between queer and trans theories and Buddhist scriptures across traditions, to begin a queer and trans approach to socially engaged Buddhism.
It blends the academic with the personal, providing meditations for queer and trans communities in each chapter.
Kody Muncaster, a Buddhist scholar and practitioner, begins with an introduction to queer work on topics such as affect, trauma, and literary critique practices. They also provide an overview on queerness and Buddhism and examine what a Queer Studies reading of Buddhist histories from different traditions can contribute to uncovering hidden elements of queerness, with a strong focus on the often excluded narratives of intersex and trans folks.
