Special Issue Queer in Aotearoa/New Zealand: Research, Theory, and Practice out now

2025-04-02

We are pleased to announce that the Special Issue Queer in Aotearoa/New Zealand: Research, Theory, and Practice has been published.

We thank guest editors Rebekah Galbraith and Ti Lamusse (Te Herenga Waka | Victoria University of Wellington) for putting together an exciting and timely collection that spotlights research initially presented at the “Rainbow Studies NOW: Legacies of Community” symposium. The issue highlights the social, cultural, and political impact of queer research in contemporary Aotearoa/New Zealand. Navigating institutional contexts from the criminal justice system to our creative industries, within our universities and health sector to government legislation and national sports organisations, the articles challenge the existing parameters of queerness in Aotearoa/New Zealand and contribute to a growing scholarship of queer and trans sociological perspectives. 

The full issue and all contributions can be accessed and downloaded here.
