Description
QTRG 2023 theme: We have seen a recent explosion of queer voices in media, politics, and research. This proliferation begs the question: who is given the chance to speak for and within queer communities, and whose voices are diminished or altogether absent. This conference aims to consider this question of queer voice and absence in a variety of forms. How are queer voices and perspectives present in media, in politics, in research and research participation, and in dominant historical (re)tellings? How can queer subjects speak into and against silence? Whose absences haunt, or are made other to, our current queer landscape? And how are such absences correlated with practices of knowing and unknowing?
