Welcome to the first episode of Queer Theory for Beginners — a video series that combines the density of Judith Butler with the lyricism of José Esteban Muñoz, and a dash of ex-Catholic scholasticism for good measure.
In this video, we explore the question: What is queer theory?
We trace its roots in post-structuralism, gender studies, and critical theory to uncover how it challenges rigid binaries, identity categories, and the very idea of a "natural" order.
Rather than offer fixed definitions, this episode invites you to think of queerness as a method of questioning — a refusal to settle, a commitment to unmaking the normal.
Whether you're completely new to queer theory or just looking for a fresh way to engage with it, this video sets the stage for a series that will delve into topics like normativity, the history of sexuality, queer futurity, and gender as a class system.
