Queer Theory Reading Group
This reading group is open to all who have an interest in exploring, discussing, digesting, and critiquing queer theory. Please book your FREE place on Eventbrite, see full details below.
There are no expectations that you have any prior knowledge of queer theory prior to the sessions, we only ask that you do the reading beforehand and come with ideas and things to discuss – we wish to be as open and accessible as possible.
We are interested in thinking about what queer theory can do, and how it can be put to work.
Reading materials will be sent out prior to each session, and will need to be read in advance of attending the group.
Queer Theory Reading Group runs for six months with each session's theme detailed below.
