Queer Trash, Un/intelligibility, and the Archive!

Faculty Mentor Name: 
Julie Beaulieu
Faculty Mentor Department: 
Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies
Librarian / Archivist: 
Ben Rubin
Description: 
Drawing upon the archives’ both explicitly and interpretatively queer speculative fiction and horror, I hope to explore queer futures and queer ways of imagining, engaging, and producing knowledge and the future, and contribute to ongoing interdisciplinary conversations surrounding queer temporality and the ways in which queer approaches to the archive have to offer about the processes of imagining.
