Queer Judgments Location: East Tower, Grand Suite 2B Date: Thursday, May 22 12:45 pm Duration: 1 hour 45 minutes Session Type: Roundtable Session The Queer Judgments Project is an initiative that evolved from disparate scholarly conversations about how legal judgments related to sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics could have been written in more appropriate terms in light of the legal framework at the time. Started in 2021, the Queer Judgments Project brought together scholars, activists, lawyers, and judges to reimagine, recreate, and rewrite judgments from queer and complementary critical perspectives. This roundtable will serve to launch the new Queer Judgments edited collection (Counterpress, 2024) with talks from some of the contributors. The roundtable will also be an opportunity to discuss future scholarly and creative directions for the project. We encourage anyone with an interest in queer legal work and critical judgments to attend.
