What are deviance studies and what does deviance have to do with queer theory? In season 2 episode 2 of Gender Jawn, Heather Love talks about her new book Underdogs: Social Deviance and Queer Theory, tells us how microsociology informs queer method, why it’s still all about negative affect, where shame and stigma fit into genealogies of queer theory, and how sexy deviance and sad deviance can’t be separated.
Check out Heather Love’s new book Underdogs: Social Deviance and Queer Theory (University of Chicago Press)
