Queer of Colour Feminisms and the meaning of "home"

This study session offers a brief introduction to queer of colour feminist thinkers from Audre Lorde and Gloria Anzaldua to Jose Munoz and Sarah Ahmed. Inspired by their political and poetical critiques and exhibitions, the session asks what 'home' means in the context of cultural dislocation and non-belonging.
