Deliberately Queer Journal

Deliberately Queer Journal is a refereed, annually published electronic graduate student journal devoted to research at the intersections of philosophy, theory, and/or practical application of queer theory from across fields and disciplines.

In 1990, Teresa de Lauretis playfully coined the term Queer Theory. In doing so, de Lauretis called for academics to critique and create methods for research, new or adapted lines of inquiry, and new forms of analysis. Used as a directive, queer theory was also a call to queer existing theory and scholarship in the light of the ongoing, lifesaving, world changing queer and LGBT activism of the day. Thanks to the foundational scholarship (beginning decades before the the term was coined), queer activist work, and the scholarship of many wonderful queer theorists, queer theory has evolved and continues to grow. Deliberately Queer Journal, as a platform for graduate students, is a continuation of that call to deliberately queer ourselves and our worlds.
