O'Hara & Paige: Queer Encounters with International Law: Lives, Communities, Subjectivities / Queer Engagements with International Law: Times, Spaces, Imaginings

Tamsin Phillipa Paige
(Deakin Univ. - Law) & Claerwen O'Hara (La Trobe Univ. - Law) have published Queer Encounters with International Law: Lives, Communities, Subjectivities (Routledge 2024) and Claerwen O'Hara (La Trobe Univ. - Law) & Tamsin Phillipa Paige (Deakin Univ. - Law) have published Queer Engagements with International Law: Times, Spaces, Imaginings (Routledge 2024). Here's the abstract:

These sibling edited books apply insights from queer theory to a range of new issues and topics in international law. Queer Encounters explores new issues relating to gender, sexuality and LGBTIQ communities in international law, such as recent contestation over the definition of 'gender' in international criminal and human rights law and the possibility of building an international queer abolitionist movement. In contrast, Queer Engagements moves beyond queer theory's site of origin by applying queer theory to a range of new topics international law not directly related to gender and sexuality, including international environmental law, international space law, international heritage law and travaux préparatoires. These collections will be invaluable to scholars of international law and international relations with an interest in critical approaches in these areas.
