Join us for the final Queering Urbanism Lecture of this academic year, Queer Methods: In Conversation with Amin Ghaziani and Matt Brim.

Room 403, Senate House

This event explores the meaning, significance and challenges associated with queer and queering methods in architecture and urban planning. Co-editors of Imagining Queer Methods(2019), Amin Ghaziani and Matt Brim will speak about the origin and framing of their book and share reflections on the problems and possibilities of queer/queering methods in their research on gaybourhoods.

Amin Ghaziani is Professor of Sociology and Canada Research Chair in Urban Sexualities at the University of British Columbia. He researches topics that range from measurement to mobilization, the metropolis, and modes of inequality. Despite this diversity, Prof. Ghaziani consistently investigates how changing societal attitudes and public opinions about sexuality affect its cultural, political, and spatial expressions. He uses this general line of thinking to contribute to theoretical conversations in urban sociology, culture, the sociology of sexualities, and social movements.

Matt Brim is Professor of Queer Studies at the College of Staten Island and Graduate Center, City University of New York. His most recent book, Poor Queer Studies: Confronting Elitism in the University (Duke UP, 2020), reorients the field of queer studies away from exclusionary institutions of higher education and toward working-class colleges, students, theories, and pedagogies. Prof. Brim is the author of James Baldwin and the Queer Imagination (U of Michigan P, 2014), as well as an open access study guide for teaching the HIV/AIDS activist documentary film United in Anger: A History of ACT UP(2012). He co-edited the collection Imagining Queer Methods (NYU Press, 2019) and has two other co-edited collections forthcoming in fall 2022: Queer Sharing in the Marketized University(Routledge) and Queer Precarities In and Out of Higher Education (Zed Books). Prof. Brim has published in venues including the Journal of Homosexuality, the Journal of Modern Literature, the Gay and Lesbian Review, and The Baffler. A former general editor of WSQ: Women’s Studies Quarterly, he is currently an associate editor for the open accessJ ames Baldwin Review and a reader for the open access Amerika studien/American Studies. He co-directs the CUNY/Andrew W. Mellon “Transformative Learning in the Humanities” grant.
