Queer@Kings is proud to host the book launch of Queering Desire: Lesbians, Gender and Subjectivity (Routledge, 2024), an edited volume by Róisín Ryan-Flood and Amy Tooth Murphy. Taking an intersectional feminist approach and incorporating new and established identities such as non-binary, masculine of centre (MOC), butch and femme, this collection examines how the changing landscape for gender and sexual identities impacts on queer culture in productive and transformative ways. Within queer studies, explorations of desire, longing and eroticism have often neglected AFAB, transfeminine and non-binary people’s experiences. Queering Desire advances our understanding of contemporary lesbian and queer desire from an inclusive perspective that is supportive of trans and non-binary identities. This event will feature presentations from 4 Queering Desire contributors and a Q&A session. We will conclude with a wine reception.
