Queer Research Day
"Queer theorizes what escapes, exceeds, and resists normative formations"
(Helen Hok-Sze Leung, 2008, p. 3)
In light of the radical potential of queer—as theories, identities, politics, and communities—how can we challenge normalcy, and indeed, live, study, and think through queer’s impossibilities and nuances. Queer Research Day (QRD) works to cultivate a space for students, staff, and faculty on campus to highlight how we are addressing queerness across and between our respective disciplines.
The goal of QRD is to empower one another, share our queer research, and foster community through interdisciplinary research and scholarship.
