This book engages with the concept “queer battle fatigue,” which
is the everyday exhaustion that LGBTQIA+ people and communities often
experience from anti-queer norms and values. Contributors express how
this concept is often experienced across spaces and places, from
schools to communities. Queer Battle Fatigue is one way to express the
everyday exhaustion that LGBTQIA+ people and communities often feel
that is a result sociopolitical and cultural anti-queer norms and
values. In this volume, contributors think about how queer battle
fatigue hits bodies and their multiple ways of being, knowing, and
doing. Chapters describe how such violence flows from early childhood
experiences to universities and across community spaces. Contributors
also describe how people and communities resist and refuse anti-queer
norms and values, carving out pathways to live, love, and have joy
despite everyday oppressions. From calling on Black queer ancestors,
to using STEM education as a safe space, to artistic representations
of identities, the chapters in Queer Battle Fatigue ask readers to
consider how to disrupt and deconstruct anti-queer norms while also
engaging in the many beautiful forms of queer joy as an act of
resistance. Queer Battle Fatigue will be a key resource for academics,
researchers, and advanced students of Education, Qualitative Research,
Queer Theory and Gender Studies, Educational Research and Curiculum
Studies. The chapters included in this book were originally published
as a special issue of International Journal of Qualitative Studies in
Education.
