Queer-y-ing CI
by Angela Meyer How would queer CI look and feel? How can CI projects be informed by queer theory? As someone who feels at home with and inspired by both queerness and CI, I’ve recently started to ask this question and explore the applications of queer theory to my doctoral dissertation on CI.
