Penn Museum

Please join us in Rainey Auditorium at the Penn Museum for the Queer Method conference with a keynote by Alison Bechdel (Harrison Auditorium).

As its institutional footing becomes more secure, queer studies finds itself increasingly torn between anti- and inter-disciplinary impulses. “Queer Method" takes this context as its focus, examining not what the subject of queer theory should be, but rather how its work has and might be done. In its turn to this set of questions, “Queer Method” will provide a forum in which to acknowledge the methodological innovations of the field, to evaluate the disciplinary effects and affiliations of queer studies, and to ask what it means to understand queer work as having a method, or to imagine method itself as queer.

If you have any questions or concerns please email us at queermethod@gmail.com
