We invite you to submit an abstract for consideration for What’s White in the Rainbow: White Supremacy in LGBTQ Movements, an edited volume highlighting works of established and emerging thinkers examining the presence, effects, and abolition of white supremacy in LGBTQ social movements.
 
Abstracts due July 31, 2019.
Full Paper Deadline: December 1, 2019
 
The first of its kind, "What’s White in the Rainbow" aims to demonstrate the deep structural and social ties between white supremacy and LGBTQ social movements in the United States. This volume will bring together scholars across multiple disciplines to create a conversation about what role white supremacy has had, and continues to have, in LGBT social movements.
 
We invite rigorous intellectual work related to the problem of whiteness and white supremacy in LGBTQ spaces; on how to research white supremacy in these spaces; and abolitionist/interventionist perspectives on handling white supremacy when and where we find it.
 
Guiding questions include:
+ What does whiteness look like in LGBTQ spaces? How does it manifest in particular practices or agenda-setting?
+ What is the history of whiteness in LGBTQ movements? How might understanding this parallel history help to understand the shape of LGBTQ history as a whole?
+What are the limits of the LGBTQ archive in studying normative positions like whiteness?
+ How does whiteness manifest in LGBTQ politics today?
+ How does whiteness manifest differently in different LGBTQ political milieus (liberal, conservative, radical, far right)?
+ What are strategies related to whiteness which allow it to operate in LGBTQ spaces?
+ How does whiteness ally itself with other dominant/oppressive frames in LGBTQ spaces?
+ How can LGBTQ spaces create/maintain practices which disrupt whiteness?
+ What lessons can we learn from the past, as we face the 21st century and a rising, reinvigorated white supremacy?

Submit your 500-word abstract and bio by July 31th, 2019. We will notify authors of accepted abstracts by August 15, 2019. Full guidelines for chapters will follow with acceptance, but accepted pieces will need to be written in accessible language of no more than 4000 words.  Full chapter drafts will be due December 1, 2019.
