The Queer Studies Special Interest Group (SIG) of the American Educational Research Association was formed for the specific purpose of encouraging empirical, interpretive, and critical educational research in education that considers an interdisciplinary discourse including queer theory, queer students and educators, curriculum and sexuality, issues of intersectionality, and other vital issues. In addition, the Queer Studies SIG intends to network individuals and organizations conducting or supporting such research.
The SIG sponsors a number of sessions at the AERA annual meeting, a business meeting to elect society officers and to discuss policy issues which have arisen over the previous year, as well as hosting a variety of social events for participants. The SIG supports scholarly work though research awards and endeavors to recognize and support community-based educational initiatives which promote equality for LGBTQ persons in education.
