Queering Paradigms
Queering Paradigms (QP) refers to an informal network, a series of conferences and a book series. QP originally started as a colloquium in February 2008 to celebrate LGBT history month at Canterbury Christ Church University. This colloquium was in part a protest against the universities stance to prevent civil partnership ceremonies from taking place on campus.[1] The conferences have since taken place in Canterbury (UK), Brisbane (Australia), Oneonta (USA), and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) and is scheduled to take place in Quito (Ecuador). The book series has three volumes so far.[2]
