Abstract

Queerly-located inquiry can be disruptive and unsettling as it conceptually contests and problematizes understandings of ‘I', ‘We', ‘Us' as an internal, subjective, or perceptual frame of reference' (Rogers 1962). Queer work has critically interrogated the performativity of sexuality in and across social life rearticulating textual, historical, and rhetorical understandings of same-sex expressions and representations. This chapter draws on three queerly-operationalized research projects that investigated same-sex sexualities, sexuality-related diversity, equality, and inclusion in educational domains. The author suggests queerly-narrated research provides teachable moments in which doubt and uncertainty have the potential to be a transformative presence for the reconceptualization of scholarship.
