Based on their recent book Queer Sites in Global Contexts, in this event Dr. Regner Ramosand and Dr. Sharif Mowlabocus will reflect on the shifting landscape of queer research in architecture and human spaces. The event will explore compelling case studies on queer sites that include buildings, digital networks, natural landscapes, urban spaces, and non-normative bodies.

Echoing the focus of the book, we’ll examine the varied relationships that queer folk, especially QPOC (Queer People of Colour), have with the spaces they occupy, move through or are regulated by. We’ll consider the affordances of digital, physical and hybrid spaces, and the ways in which race, class, gender and sexuality intersect with and shape access to those spaces.
