Description: Panelists explore queer methods of reading, taking up arguments about misreading, rereading, reading askew, reading with regard, wrong reading, and not (yet) reading. Discussion centers on a desire to continue to play with and expand the queer potential of how we read beyond the impasse of arguments between ideology critique and surface reading.
