Get a queer perspective on communication theory! Queer Theory and
Communication: From Disciplining Queers to Queering the
Discipline(s) is a conversation starter, sparking smart talk about
sexuality in the communication discipline and beyond. Edited by
members of The San Francisco Radical Trio, the book integrates
current queer theory, research, and interventions to create a
critical lens with which to view the damaging effects of
heteronormativity on personal, social, and cultural levels, and to
see the possibilities for change through social and cultural
transformation. Queer Theory and Communication represents a
commitment to positive social change by imagining different social
realities and sharing ideas, passions, and lived experiences. As
the communication discipline begins to recognize queer theory as a
vital and viable intellectual movement equal to that of Gay and
Lesbian studies, the opportunity is here to take current queer
scholarship beyond conference papers and presentations. Queer
Theory and Communication has five objectives: 1) to integrate and
disseminate current queer scholarship to a larger audience-academic
and nonacademic; 2) to examine the potential implications of queer
theory in human communication theory and research in a variety of
contexts; 3) to stimulate dialogue among queer scholars; 4) to set
a preliminary research agenda; and 5) to explore the implications
of the scholarship in cultural politics and personal empowerment
and transformation. Queer Theory and Communication boasts an
esteemed panel of academics, artists, activists, editors, and
essayists. Contributors include: John Nguyet Erni, editor of Asian
Media Studies and Research & Analysis Program Board member for
GLAAD Joshua Gamson, author of Freaks Talk Back: Tabloid Talk Shows
and Sexual Nonconformity Sally Miller Gerahart, author, activist,
and actress Judith Halberstam, author of Female Masculinity David

Communication: From Disciplining Queers to Queering the
Discipline(s) is an essential addition to the critical
consciousness of anyone involved in communication, media studies,
cultural studies, gender studies, and the study of human sexuality,
whether in the classroom, the boardroom, or the bedroom.
