Queering intersectionality: encountering the transnational

Abstract: "This article is a conceptual exploration of the queering potential that emerges from a productive dialogue between the literatures on intersectionality in gender theory, on the notion of queering in queer theory, and on transnationalism in migration studies. It argues that the queering of intersectionality provides ways of thinking beyond the normativities residing in both intersectional and transnational research agendas. Queering thus not only engages intersectional theory and its subject matter, but equally its status as a research paradigm that has given rise to its own normative modes of knowledge production. Taking its cue from a range of related critical interventions, this article proposes that, read through one another as a queer intersectional lens, they have the potential to mitigate against heteronormative assumptions underlying transnational research as well as the tethering of intersectionality to particularly marked bodies."
