LJ Slovin is an assistant professor at the School of Child and Youth Care at the University of Victoria and a fellow at the Mark S. Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies at the University of Toronto. Their first book, Fierce, fabulous, and fluid: How trans high school students work at gender nonconformity (NYU Press, 2024), is based on a yearlong ethnography in a high school and interrogates how dominant approaches to trans-inclusivity in schools reproduce constrained understandings of trans identity that are informed by and uphold structures of whiteness, settler colonialism, and ability. Their second book, Embracing queer and trans frameworks in qualitative education research: Showing our work, coauthored with Dr. Sam Stiegler, is forthcoming from Routledge Press. Slovin was a Vanier Scholar, the 2020 recipient of the Pat Clifford Award, and the 2021 recipient of the Queer SIG Article of the Year Award at AERA. Their work has been published in Curriculum Inquiry, Journal of LGBT Youth, Sex Education, and RERM.
