| What
use is Queer theory to Gender and Development? by
Susie Jolly, IDS
This paper looks at two areas in which queer
theory can inform/challenge development. Firstly, along with
other post-structuralist theories, queer theory challenges the
materialism on which much of development is still based, and
proposes a broadening of development to include non-material
factors such as sexuality. Secondly, queer theory
deconstructs the categories of biological 'sex' and social
'gender', which are still often taken as the basis of Gender and
Development.
The full text of this paper is available online
from the IDS Research Website (in .pdf format).
