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 hHstory 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]

The first official Queering Paradigms conference was organised in February 2009[3] in Canterbury by B Scherer, a professor of Comparative Religion, Gender and Sexuality at Canterbury Christ Church University.[4] The book resulting from this conference was published by Peter Lang Oxford in 2010 and was edited by Scherer.[5]

Queering Paradigms II (April 2010)

This conference took place at the Queensland University of Technology[3][6] and was organised by Sharon Hayes,[7] Matthew Ball[8] and Angela Dwyer.[9] Former High Court Justice Michael Kirby gave a keynote speech,[10] which was widely commented upon in Australian newspapers.[11][12][13][14] Also the second book was published by Peter Lang and was edited by Scherer and Ball.[15]

QP 5 took place in Quito, Ecuador in February 2014.[3][22][23][24] A regional QP colloquium was organised in Quito in October 2012.[25] QP5 organisers continue to create social impact after the event, e.g. by lobbying for Equal Marriage in Ecuador.[26]
