Queering genealogies: introduction to the special section
Queering genealogies: introduction to the special section
This special section of Feminist Theory explores the theme of ‘Queering Genealogies’. It brings together work which explores intersections of queering, queerness, biotechnology,kinship relations, genealogy and inter generational relations. It unites two areas of study:queer kinship studies; and queer science studies. The section was edited by Dr Elizabeth Reed and Dr Kate O’Riordan, and our focus is on queer family making, kinship relations,genealogies and networks. The scope of the papers collected here ranges from biotechnologies such as DNA tests, IVF, gamete donation, and surrogacy, to digital media platforms that facilitate new strategic, transitory, and lasting relationships and make experiences of relation, genealogy and kinship. It critically engages with the ways in which kinship, genealogy and generational connection and traditions might be queered. The section contributes to a growing field and intervenes in this work of queer intellectual kinship making through publishing research, which bridges disciplinary areas and creates links between theoretical approaches.

Abstract
This special section of Feminist Theory explores the theme of ‘Queering Genealogies’. It brings together work which explores intersections of queering, queerness, biotechnology,kinship relations, genealogy and inter generational relations. It unites two areas of study:queer kinship studies; and queer science studies. The section was edited by Dr Elizabeth Reed and Dr Kate O’Riordan, and our focus is on queer family making, kinship relations,genealogies and networks. The scope of the papers collected here ranges from biotechnologies such as DNA tests, IVF, gamete donation, and surrogacy, to digital media platforms that facilitate new strategic, transitory, and lasting relationships and make experiences of relation, genealogy and kinship. It critically engages with the ways in which kinship, genealogy and generational connection and traditions might be queered. The section contributes to a growing field and intervenes in this work of queer intellectual kinship making through publishing research, which bridges disciplinary areas and creates links between theoretical approaches.
