My incredibly talented and endlessly inspiring friend @kyspcc has just published this article with Antipode. Essential reading for those thinking at the intersection of abolitionism, decoloniality, carcerality, and Indigenous Studies: https://t.co/WFfkvmYdpF

I'm excited to be speaking alongside some amazing people at this two-day conference: https://t.co/utVhuLRtOR. My paper will be on Forrest Reid, a relatively unknown writer from Belfast, and his use/understanding of the concept of Greek love. Come along if you're interested!

More than 30 years later, this point, which Wendy Brown articulates more fully in her insanely good essay from the same year, has yet to be taken seriously by queer theory. Somehow, the field has not yet produced an actual account of disidentification. What might this look like?

[Aaron Muldoon @aaronmmuldoon]

"Although the political discourses that mobilize identity categories tend to cultivate identifications in the service of a political goal, it may be that the persistence of disidentification is equally crucial to the rearticulation of democratic contestation" (Butler, 1993).

Should we all be talking more about Cindy Patton’s 1993 essay “Tremble, Hetero Swine”? (Yes)

So good to hear Dodie Bellamy and Diarmuid Hester on the work of Kevin Killian this evening at the ICA!

[Aaron Muldoon @aaronmmuldoon]

I'm always grateful for @amiasrinivasan's sense of humour and clarity of thought. Here she lucidly reestablishes the terms of this 'debate'. It should be required reading for anyone thinking about the Higher Education Act. Not a good week to be Arif Ahmed. https://t.co/lBu7XYLf5E

@profjmb Why don’t you a) stop crying and b) obtain written consent from your participants like a normal researcher? The dramatic tone of this post and the subsequent comments only demonstrates that your own research, not those advocating retraction, is ideological (whatever that means).

[Aaron Muldoon @aaronmmuldoon]

The contemporary political climate requires journalism, academia and public criticism to move beyond the logics of queer separatism and exceptionalism and instead explore queerness as it is embedded in everyday life. Queerness should be everybody’s concern.

[Aaron Muldoon @aaronmmuldoon]

As per the 2015 issue of differences, and contra Halberstam, queer theory must unwed itself from anti-normativity. It must instead become something like ‘norm studies’ or ‘sex studies’. Under these rubrics the field must reckon with the fact that norms affect everyone.

[Aaron Muldoon @aaronmmuldoon]

Only then will it be properly positioned to explore the specific ways that norms shape queer life.
