During the academic year 1997/98 Clare Hemmings organized a lecture series under the title Queer Today . . .? Contemporary Issues in Sexuality and Gender, within and sponsored by the School of Literary and Media Studies, University of North London (UNL). The motivation for the series came from the realization that a number of research students and staff at UNL were embarked on what could loosely be termed ‘queer projects’, and yet, as is so often the case, there was no formal academic space within which to share interests or develop ideas. The Queer Today . . .? lecture series was originally conceived, then, as a response to the needs of a local academic community starved of resources and time. Speakers were invited to present new work within queer studies (however they understood that) to a core group of staff and students, and time was split equally between formal presentation and engaged discussion. From the start, the series had a number of central aims and concerns that were considered essential to the success of such a queer endeavour
