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), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) and in Quito (Ecuador). The book series has three volumes so far.[2]
