Mapping lesbians’ everyday community-making in a small city
This paper presents findings from a project exploring how lesbians make community in the ‘ordinary city’ of Southampton on the South coast of England. In the context of trans-exclusionary debates and the supposed demise of lesbian spaces, we sought to discover how self-identified lesbian people in Southampton conceptualised the location and boundaries of their community. The study used collaborative participatory mapping techniques, which resulte…
Research failure, crip temporalities and bipolar time in UK higher education
In this article we propose an understanding of failure in academic research through the lens of cripped temporalities, outlining our original concept of 'bipolar time'. Situated within the increasingly pressured context of UK higher education (UKHE), we move beyond literature that reframes failure as a step towards success. We foreground the affective experience of a (failed) empirical project exploring young LGBTAQ+ people's engagement with TikT…
To raise a village, fall far from the tree
How can we understand queer kinship as it is experienced in the present, without inadvertently fixing its meaning, ignoring the (in)flexibility of memory, or failing to capture its continued evolution? We argue that through recognition of the stickiness of family and kinship characterized variously by pain, joy, tradition, contrariness, and connection, we can find routes to collectively imagine queer futures. Based on an ongoing collaboration bet…
Queering genealogies
This special section of Feminist Theory explores the theme of ‘Queering Genealogies’. It brings together work which explores intersections of queering, queerness, biotechnology,kinship relations, genealogy and inter generational relations. It unites two areas of study:queer kinship studies; and queer science studies. The section was edited by Dr Elizabeth Reed and Dr Kate O’Riordan, and our focus is on queer family making, kinship relations,genea…
One donor egg and 'a dollop of love
We consider what genealogical links, kinship and sociality are promised through the marketing of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs). Using a mixed method of formal analysis of Facebook's algorithmic architectures and textual analysis of twenty-eight adverts for egg donation drawn from the Facebook Ad Library, we analyse the ways in which the figure of the 'fertile woman' is constituted both within the text and at the level of Facebook's ta…
Girls being Rey
This paper argues that consumers of popular culture engage in practices of ‘ethical cultural consumption’, whereby the consumption of cultural texts is imagined as having the potential to ‘do good’ both individually and socio-politically. The paper explores data from an online questionnaire and drawing activity with girls aged 5–10 and their parents on the experience of costume playing as Rey from the contemporary Star Wars trilogy. Imagined as a…

Misrecognition and managing marginalisation
Many negative portrayals of bisexuality within Western culture relate to relationships, yet only a small body of research has explored bisexual people’s experiences of their bisexual identity within their partner relationships, particularly in relation to the wider cultural context of binegativity. Twenty qualitative interviews were conducted with bisexual men, women, trans and genderqueer/non-binary people in relationships. Participants were bas…
Lesbian, Bisexual and Queer Motherhood
This article examines how lesbian, gay, bisexual and queer (LGBQ) women negotiate mother-identity narratives through critical engagement with diverse media representations. The author draws on the reported experiences of LGBQ mothers living in Great Britain, collected in semi-structured, in-depth qualitative interviews during 2013 and 2014. The interview data is used to examine how queer and social-radical positions are articulated through, and t…
