“Out of Bounds” is a panel conversation featuring M. Aziz, CJ Jones, Anima Adjepong, held at UC Davis on October 14, 2026. This symposium analyzes sports as a flashpoint in debates over gender, race, and nation. Who gets to play–and who decides the rules? From trans and intersex athletes to the broader politics of “fairness,” panelists discuss struggles over athletics. As the fixation on trans athletes intensifies, we discuss who gets centered, sidelined, and scrutinized, and how this relates to broader cultural anxieties and political shifts.
