This week in the Salon, Kim and Sophia discuss queer literature. They discuss the definition/indefinition of the term "queer" and how specific writers have used the concept of "queering." Kim and Sophia also review their experiences teaching queer fiction and queer theory in the classroom and how their own research projects are related to queer studies. Some authors discussed in this episode are Judith Butler, Paul B. Preciado, Hanif Kureishi, and Henry James.
