Trans Bodies, Trans Selves Call for Interns_

*http://www.transbodies.com/ContactUs.html*

Trans Bodies, Trans Selves is looking for interns for the positions
listed below. The deadline for submission of applications is December 1,
2010.

Internships begin December 15, 2010. Their end date depends on the
particular position. The survey and chapter interns will likely complete
their work by the end of the Spring. The website and publicity interns
will continue on through the book’s publication, tentatively next Fall.

Undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to apply. The book’s
editors are willing to work with your school to obtain credit for your
internship. Unfortunately we do not have funds at this time to provide
payment to interns. All interns will be recognized by name in the final
book.

TO APPLY:

Please submit the following to laura at transbodies.com
<mailto:laura at transbodies.com> by December 1, 2010:

-A _cover letter_ describing your interest in interning for Trans
Bodies, Trans Selves. Why are you interested in the particular position?
What skills do you have that make you an ideal candidate? Include your
email address and phone number in the letter.

- A _resume/cv_ that highlights work you have done that will help you in
the position.

AVAILABLE POSITIONS:

_Website Intern_

Until now, Trans Bodies’ website has been handled by the book’s editor,
Laura Erickson-Schroth, who knows nothing about websites except how to
click a mouse and insert text/pictures. _YOU_ can save this project’s
website from itself. (If applying for this position, please include
examples of your work in your application).

_Publicity Interns_

The Trans Bodies project is growing out of its britches, and expanding
to facebook, twitter and to conferences near you. Be a part of this
project by connecting people with Trans Bodies through social media and
events.

_Survey Interns_

We are seeking interns to assist with our surveys for gender-variant
people, current/former partners of gender-variant people, and parents of
gender-variant children (http://transbodies.com/Survey.html). We will be
using quotes from the surveys for the book, and due to the extremely
large number of responses, we need to thematically code the surveys.
Interns will be supervised by a PhD candidate, and given a brief
introduction to the organization and analysis of qualitative surveys.
They will have the opportunity to learn about a wide range of individual
perspectives as they work with the data. Applicants should be motivated,
thoughtful, interested in the experiences of trans-persons and their
families, and sensitive to handling confidential information.

_Chapter Intern: Transgender Representation in the Media_

Authors Jamison Green and Dallas Denny are looking for an intern to help
them with research for their chapter, which will cover transgender
representation in popular media, including television, movies, magazines
and newspapers.

_Chapter Intern: Gender Around the World_

Authors Jamie Roberts and Anneliese Singh are recruiting an intern for
their chapter, which explores the gender roles and transgender movements
around the world.
