Abstract:
This panel explores what it means to include queer people and queer perspectives in international politics. We analyse diverse areas and case studies, on the prevention of mass atrocity crimes, diplomacy, the space sector, and the discipline of International Relations, drawing on original data sets and novel ways of framing the inclusion of LGBTQI+ people. The aim of this panel is to open up new questions, new conversations, and new ways of thinking about people and power in international politics. We take a diffuse and non-prescriptive approach to what it means to queer our different areas within International Relations.
