1485: Gender Journey

Critical Queer Theory and Academic Origins

An analysis of the origins of "Queer Theory" traces its roots back to the 1990s and the work of neo-Marxist thinkers like Herbert Marcuse. The discussion posits that Queer Studies has systematically supplanted traditional Women's Studies and Gay and Lesbian Studies in university curricula as part of a long-term ideological shift.
