*/_Queer Youth Histories:_/*

The heightened profile of queer youth cultures across an array of 
contexts has given rise to questions about variations in such practices, 
identifications, politics, experiences and manifestations at different 
points in time.  Despite significant expansion of LGBT historical 
scholarship in some areas, research focusing specifically on histories 
of youth and sexual and gender insubordination remains a fledgling field 
requiring nurture and growth.  To such ends, this work seeks to bring 
together scholars researching and writing on queer youth histories.

This research might include:

•   national or transnational historical research focusing on 
intersections of youth and non-normative or LGBTI sexualities and genders;

•   case-based analyses of particular examples of LGBTIQ youth 
organizing (such as youth groups, activist work, school cultures);

•   critical engagements with cultural texts (e.g. books, films, music) 
or events (e.g. concerts, demonstrations, conferences) with significance 
for queer youth histories;

•   historical examples of young people’s involvement in media and 
cultural production (e.g. community press, radio broadcasting or fan 
literatures) connected to non-normative or LGBTI sexualities and 
genders; and

•   historicizing analyses of cultural representations of queer youth 
histories (e.g. film, television, published fiction).

This work is also interested in work that reflects on:

•   methodological implications for doing queer youth history;

•   relationships and tensions between queer youth history and the 
larger field of LGBT/queer historical research; and

•   theoretical reflections on intersections of ideas about youth, 
history and non-normative/LGBTI sexualities and genders.
