Queer theory

Damien W. Riggs , Gareth J. Treharne

pp. 101-121

This chapter provides an overview of queer theory, along with examples of how we and others have applied queer theory in social psychology research. Throughout the chapter, we highlight the differences between queer theory, queer research methodologies, queer studies, and "queer' as an identity category. The chapter first presents a focused review of social psychological literature that has used the term "queer', before then considering research examples that illustrate the differences outlined above.
