Queer@King's is an interdepartmental and interdisciplinary group of researchers that has been operating in the Faculty of Arts & Humanities since 2003. After playing a pioneering role in the research culture of the University of London by bringing together colleagues interested in gender and sexuality, Queer@King's became one of the Faculty's official centres in 2006. 

Indebted to the social-political and intellectual-conceptual energies and concerns of queer theory as it emerged in the 1990s and to the earlier and concurrent LGBT liberation movements, Queer@King's aims to be an institutionalised irritant to the  institutional context in which it exists. Our Centre is committed to being an inclusive, non-hierarchical, multivocal collective that provides a supportive and stimulating environment for queer work within and beyond the academy. We strive to be an accessible community of students and scholars irrespective of seniority or disciplinary background, with a clear awareness of our role as an ally, advocate, and collaborator for queer activism, art, and community work. As such, Queer@King's is first and foremost a gathering place and a facilitator for the ideas and projects of individuals and groups that fall within the Centre's remit, whether they are researchers, students, activists, practitioners, or any combinations thereof. 

Originally set up to organise a major international conference, 'Queer Matters', which took place in King's in May 2004, we have since then organised each year research seminars, public lectures, one-day symposia, readings, performances and other events on queer topics. Previous distinguished victors include: Sara Ahmed, Carolyn Dinshaw, Laura Doan, Lisa Duggan, Lee Edelman, Sarah Franklin, Judith Halberstam, David Halperin, Nadine Hubbs, Mark Jordan, Heather Love, Madhavi Menon, Mandy Merck, José Muñoz, Peggy Phelan, Alan Sinfield, Stephen Whittle and Michael Warner.

The Queer@King’s programme also regularly features contributions from major artists, literary figures, filmmakers and political activists. Previous events have included: Travis Alabanza, Ron Athey, Neil Bartlett, Mark Doty, Amber Hollibaugh, Alan Hollinghurst, Isaac Julien, Kiki and Herb, Frank McGuinness, Phyll Opoku-Gyimah, Victoria Sin, Del LaGrace Volcano, Edmund White and Cui Zi’en.

The Centre is directed by Daniel Orrells.

The Steering Group advises and supports the Director: Mark TurnerClara Bradbury-RanceJohan AnderssonSebastian Matzner, Billy HolzbergAnne PollockJamie Hakim, Zeena Feldman, Catherine Kelly (PGR Representative), Alexander Giesen (PGR Representative), and Jazmin Ruiz Diaz Figueredo (PGR Representative/ Centre Administrator).

      Until his untimely death in 2014, Adrian Howells was the most established and prolific maker of one-to-one performance — namely, of performances presented serially to one audience-participant at a time. This lecture takes his permissive mantra — “It’s all allowed” — as its starting point, and asks how the logic of permission might speak to the related issues of freedom, agency, and choice, in relation to sexuality and identity, in performance and beyond. What is still at stake in queer theory and queer writing? What might it permit or enable in a reading of the work of Adrian Howells as well as other proximate practices of contemporary performance? Dominic Johnson is a Senior Lecturer in the School of English and Drama, at Queen Mary, University of London.

      One of the greatest strengths of Queer@King’s is the exceptional breadth of work undertaken by our members, which covers an enormous range of different media, cultures, periods, methods, and contexts – from modern lesbian cinema to secular and devotional eros in late medieval writing, from transnational Chinese queer stardom to the legacies of ancient literature and thought in modern notions of sex, from the pornographic paratexts of Pornhub to the erotics and politics of love in ancient world literature.
