Queer History

Queer History is a branch of historical inquiry that examines the experiences, identities, and social formations of individuals and communities whose sexualities, genders, or affective lives diverge from normative heterosexuality and cisgenderism, distinguished by its critical engagement with the categories of "queer" as both a analytic framework and a political stance within the intersections of Gender History, the History of Sexuality, and Queer Studies.
