Q***r@King’s is an interdepartmental and interdisciplinary research group that has been operating in the Faculty of Arts & Humanities since 2003, often with the support of the Annual Fund. Already an important feature in the research culture of the University of London for colleagues interested in gender and sexuality, Q***r@King’s became one of the Faculty's official centres in 2006. Originally set up to organise a major international conference, Q***r Matters, which took place in King’s in May 2004, each year since then we have organised regular research seminars, public lectures, one-day symposia, readings, performances and class visits on q***r topics. Previous distinguished visitors include Sara Ahmed, Carolyn Dinshaw, Laura Doan, Lisa Duggan, Lee Edelman, Sarah Franklin, Judith Halberstam, David Halperin, Nadine Hubbs, Mark Jordan, Mandy Merck, José Muñoz, Peggy Phelan, Alan Sinfield, Stephen Whittle and Michael Warner. The Q***r@King’s programme also regularly features contributions from major artists, literary figures, filmmakers and political activists. Previous programmes have included Ron Athey, Neil Bartlett, Mark Doty, Amber Hollibaugh, Isaac Julien, Kiki and Herb, Frank McGuinness, Del LaGrace Volcano, Edmund White and Cui Zi’en. madison moore, Director
