Special Issue Editor: Roach, Shoniqua

In this special issue, contributors unpack what Evelynn Hammond’s 1994 differences essay, “Black (W)holes,” has meant and continues to mean for queer black feminist knowledge production and academic subject formation within and beyond the United States. Contributors interrogate what it means for queer black feminists to labor in a field under constant and recurring erasure; argue for the possibilities for queer and trans black women’s erotic agency while seeking medical care in hostile institutions, including academic and medical industrial complexes; and analyze the relevance of empirical black holes for theorizing polymorphous black female sexualities.

Contributors: Moya Bailey, Kimberly Bain, V. Varun Chaudhry, Megan Finch, Julian Kevon Kamilah Glover, Sharon P. Holland, Naima Lowe, Amber Jamilla Musser, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, Shoniqua Roach, Petal Samuel, Tiffany Willoughby-Herard
