Queering Science Writing: Exploring Alternative Perspectives in Science and Nature

Olivia Goodfriend | Environmental Arts and Humanities

Description

In general, my research question is: "What does it look like to 'queer' science writing?" Coming from a background in Queer Ecology, my research examines how science writing can be used as a tool to shed light on the various ways queerness is present in the natural world and within institutions of research.
This involves a focus on nonheteronormative identities, but extends beyond an individuals’ own sexuality to look at how queerness exists on institutional and systems levels as well. For example, laboratory and field research settings could be deemed “queer” if they do not adhere to the images that the public associates with scientific research. At the systems level, my project considers how climate and ecological change could be considered queer, as both demonstrate profound divergences from baseline states. As part of my graduate work I am producing a compilation of science writing articles, each of which approaches the concept of queerness through a different lens.
