Social Corners

Hello, my name is Shahan Bellamy. I am a graduate student under the direction of Dr. Marlon M. Bailey in the Women and Gender Studies Program in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University. I am conducting a research study to understand how Black transmen construct and express masculinity on Tumblr and in the real world. As part of this study, I will be observing and interviewing Black transmen who use Tumblr to help express their masculinity. I am recruiting individuals who identify as Black American transmen and who are over the age 18.
