Biography
Kit Hermanson (they/them) is a Ph.D. candidate whose dissertation work examines non-binary sex and gender forms as they appear in 19th century American religious history. The genealogy their work constructs demonstrates how religious and spiritual ideas and practices created the cultural conditions of possibility for interior, gendered self-conceptualization and identity disconnected from exterior, sexed corporeality that defines non-binary identity in the 21st century.
