Reading Group: Non-monogamies, Queer Theory, and Intersectionality

You are invited to attend this reading group to discuss interdisciplinary, critical writing on non-monogamies from an intersectional perspective.

The reading group has been primarily designed for postgraduate students, but staff are also welcome.

In the session we will discuss articles by Kean and Klesse that approach non-monogamy from queer and intersectional perspectives.

Links to the articles can be found here.

Both authors will be present at the reading.

If you have any queries about the event or if you are unable to access the articles please contact Christian Klesse ([email protected]) or Jessica Kean ([email protected])
