LGBTQIA2S+ Studies in the Sociology of Sexualities
Sun, August 9, 12:00 to 1:30pm, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session (60 minute)
Description
This session highlights and celebrates scholarship on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual/Pansexual, Transgender/Agender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual/Aromantic, and Two Spirit (LGBTQIA2S+) communities. Sociologists of sexuality understand LGBTQIA2S+ not as a label, but as communities of political and social actors; as individual subjects and not as objects. We welcome studies that explore collective understandings of community, desire, identity, history, and intersectional and marginalized experiences within and beyond the LGBTQIA2S+ experience. We welcome work that engages with the multifaceted approach to LGBTQIA2S+ studies, including but not limited to Queer of Color Critique, queer disability studies, transgender studies, critical kinship studies, and queer indigeneity in an era of heightened LGBTQIA2S+ politics and politicization.
