Description
In this edited volume, contributors recognize and reflect on communication studies' queer past and examine the current state of queer theorizing within communication studies. Through this reflection, the book fills in gaps in the history of this sub-discipline and demonstrates that even as scholars in the field empowered queer voices in the past, they often failed to recognize the intersectional aspects of queer identity, through which scholars can form new understandings of past scholarship in new queer(er) lights. Ultimately, contributors collectively provide a critique for the lack of broader inclusion of queer theorization in the field and provide new pathways for the continued development of queer communication studies.

Reviews
-
Queer(ing) Communication Studies: Disruptions, Discussions, and Pathways is a groundbreaking exploration of the evolving intersections between queer theory and communication. Edited by renowned scholars Ahmet Atay and Stephanie L. Young, this collection showcases an excellent lineup of scholars who thoughtfully engage with the complexities of queerness across diverse contexts. From innovative approaches to queer autoethnography to transnational rhetorics and global queer studies, the contributors push the boundaries of traditional frameworks. This volume not only honors the legacy of queer scholarship but also boldly charts new pathways for inclusion, disruption, and dialogue within the field.
Jimmie Manning, Professor of Communication Studies, University of Nevada Reno, USA
