Abstract

In Critical Concepts in Queer Studies and Education: An International Guide for the Twenty-First Century, contributors were invited to advance a key concept as a basis for reflecting on their engagement with queer studies and education. The idea was derived from the inaugural volume of TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly in which the authors developed keywords or concepts for a twenty-first-century transgender studies. In a similar vein, but in relation to queer studies and education, the contributors here also developed concepts that take up a cross section of scholarship, and which speaks to various political, epistemological, theoretical, methodological, and pedagogical concerns
