Presentation description

The argument that Spider-Man's story can be read as a transgender narrative is built on a strong foundation of allegory, body horror, comic history, and censorship. In a time where transgender and queer stories are being disproportionately banned from schools, it is vital to find ways to navigate around censorship and provide representation for those who need it. Therefore, this thesis is accompanied by three curriculums focused on queer joy, medium, and power reclamation.
