This group aims to provide a space for interdisciplinary discussion around Queer Theory and the application of Queer Theory to empirical study. We also incorporate queer cultural events into the group's activities.

The first meeting, held in December 2008, involved a lively discussion of the introductory chapter of Lee Adelman's (2004) book 'No Future: Queer Theory and the Death Drive' (Durham, Duke University Press).

For a list of subsequent events and activities, see the Past Events page.

There are currently no Warwick based activities planned for 2011-2012, however if you would be interested in organising an event, reading group session, film viewing, etc., or if you are already planning something which you would like to link to the Queer Theory Study Group, please contact Cath Lambert.
