Mary Robertson, Growing Up Queer
Confusing the grid
Mediating between queer theory's privileging of time as actor and geographic emphases on material spaces and identities, this article engages feminist geographies and the work of Deleuze and Guattari to understand the implications of time and space as imagined, or actors' spatiotemporal imaginaries. We draw on Massumi's metaphor of the 'grid,' which sediments ways of seeing self and other and logics for action and interaction. The grid incites im…
Producing global citizens for the future
This article inquires into discourses of globalisation as they are put to use to accelerate higher education's seemingly ready acquiescence to the demands of the market. We maintain that globalisation operates as a way to reason about space that produces images and narratives of universities, knowledge and students. We focus our analysis on curriculum reform as a way universities materialise the seemingly abstract economic logic of the so-called …

After‐queer’ tendencies in queer research
Our aim in this introduction is neither to enunciate an ‘after‐queer’ vision nor to denounce queer theory. In thinking through an ‘after‐queer’, we identify and seek to account for particular habits of thought that are often associated with queer research in education and queer research about young people. We trace certain traditions that frame queer research and consider the proper subjects, aims, and locations of such research projects. We cont…
After‐queer’
This article offers a reading of the 2006 film The History Boys, which depicts eight male working‐class grammar school students preparing for exams to enter Oxford and Cambridge and two teachers who prepare them. I read the film’s subjunctive mood, which gestures to possibility and an ‘otherwise’, as connected to an analytic of ‘after‐queer’ that complicates linear understandings of youth, sexuality, development, and education. I elaborate three …
Spatial imaginaries
In this article, we conduct a discourse analysis of the strategic plans of two universities, one from the global South and the other from the global North, to understand how the constitution of space and place reconfigures human experience in the two institutions. We argue that universities do not simply respond to dominant logics of globalization but are active participants in its production. We draw on feminist geographers to elaborate how thes…

Constructions of LGBT Youth
This article questions the effects of forms of knowledge adults create that frame LGBT youth. The author focuses on dominant images of the LGBT youth at-risk and the adolescent who adopts a secure gay identity. She argues that gay identity development models and subcultural theories create a group with defined needs to which adults and school programs should respond. If used unreflectively, these normative constructions, which justify and underli…
What's the Subject of Study Abroad?
Based on an ethnographic study that focused on the relations of students’ in‐ and out‐of‐class cultural learning during a 5‐week study abroad program in Spain, this article analyzes processes of teaching and learning in a Spanish culture and civilization class, the experiences of the only African‐American student on the program, and students’ responses to a class meeting in which race was overtly problematized. In contrast to the shared construct…
Identity as a Bother
Interpretation becoming other
This response to Leslie Bloom's "Interpreting interpretation: gender, sexuality and the practice of not reading straight" explores Bloom's interpretations of her interpretations of a research participant's life-history narrative. Taking as a given that sexuality places research in a crisis of knowledge and limits, I ask how Bloom's meta-interpretive narrative informs inquiry that seeks not only to break with heteronormative structures of knowing …
Open secrets and problems of queer ethnography
This article questions the logic of ethnographic inquiry that seeks to make gay and lesbian subjects seen and heard. I consider poststructural and queer challenges to ethnography's project of representing subjects, experiences, and voices to suggest that inquiry into gay and lesbian subjects analyze practices as they are constituted in social and institutional locations. Queer theorists' explorations of the "open secret" and the "epistemology of …

The Interplay of the Personal and the Pragmatic
Within the current debate over the methods and content of foreign language curricula, discussion of the relevance and role of literature remains largely at the level of conjecture. In order to learn about the value that students ascribe to the study of Spanish literature, we undertook a semester‐long qualitative study of students' goals for, experiences in, and perceptions of a Spanish literature survey course at a regional state university. Meth…
