About Us

This is an exciting time for work at the intersections of QueerStudies, Critical Race Studies, and studies of region. "Queer" continues to be a critical location for agency and activism.

However, those who undertake Queer Studies must also be conscious about uncritically endorsing racialized, spacialized, and classed norms while striving for a deeper understanding of intersectionality.

In contemplating the potential to "queer" the study of race, region and sexual diaspora we intend to challenge assumptions that undergird the construction of nationhood, race, migrations, community, settlement(s), and locality.

(Dis)locating Queer will be comprised of presentations that queer the analysis of race, region, and sexual diaspora and which unsettle racial, regional, and diasporic assumptions within queer studies.

Our contributors from a wide range of disciplines and interdisciplinary fields investigate these intersecting lines of inquiry, asking what queer does rather than what “queer” is.
