[Commlist] Deliberately Queer inaugural issue CFP

Subject: Graduate queer studies journal Deliberately Queer calls for 
submission by May 28

Deliberately Queer Journal is a diverse open-access, peer-reviewed 
journal for graduate students and recent graduates that seeks to provide 
a space for the widest possible queer perspectives on all issues of sex, 
gender, sexuality, identities, intersectionality, and power.
The journal will be accepting submissions until May 28, 2024 at 11:59 
p.m. (your local time anywhere).

In addition to general submissions from any field or discipline, the 
editor encourages the submission of scholarship that engages with queer, 
queer theory, and queering deliberately and intentionally. On their own, 
each of these terms is contested. Queer has been used in a variety of 
ways including the reclaimed derogatory (Callis, 2009), as an umbrella 
term for LGBTQIA+ (Carr et al., 2017), as a protest to fixed identities 
(Henderson, 2001), as a verb for questioning so-called norms and 
categories (Lovaas, 2003), to understand the self (Britzman, 1997) and 
numerous others. It has been argued that the power of the term queer 
stems from its complexity and inability to be defined absolutely 
(Halperin, 2003). Queer research is found throughout activism and 
academia as are the academics and practitioners continuing queer labor. 
The inaugural issue of Deliberately Queer is seeking research from 
graduate students whose labor advances the expansive collection of queer 
theory.

As you are preparing your manuscript, consider the following guiding 
questions: What does queer theory look like in your field? In what ways 
is queer theory still necessary? How might queer theory (re)shape your 
discipline? What does queer theory look like in practice? How do we 
connect queer theory to practice with an attention to materiality and 
lived experience? What does it mean or look like to queer in your 
discipline? What does queerness look like in the everyday? How can we 
answer the call to queer deliberately?

The editor welcomes submissions from a variety of qualitative or 
quantitative methodologies and mixed-methodological approaches, 
including critical/cultural analysis, web-based and new media research, 
autoethnography, poetic and arts-based inquiry, performance scripts, as 
well as other methods. Authors should identify in their cover letter 
whether their submissions address the special call. All submissions, 
including those for the special call, should follow regular submission 
guidelines. All authors must be graduate students at the time of submission.
