What Is Queer Theory?
Think of Queer theory as a Filtering lense. As which to
look at a heteronormative standard from the viewpoint
of Queer experiences/characteristics
Heteronormative
Situation/Relationship/Interaction
The process of using Queer Theory to do this is called
“Queering”
What is Queer Theory? (Cont)
That Lens is then used to challenge existing Theories,
Situations, and experiences that only consider the
“normal” perspectives of heterosexuality
It is also used to expose biases and explore areas of research
and communication previously untouched due to their
perceived “taboo” nature”
Best Practice
While Queer Theory may be hard to fully define. To use it effectively in research, life, or to
observe communication studies. Just apply the thought process of “How would this be different
if it were a queer person”
