Come celebrate the launch of GLQ 18.1, “Queer Studies and the Crises of Capitalism”, edited by Jordana Rosenberg and Amy Villarejo. The table of contents denoting the labors of our fantastic contributors

Nayan Shah, who picked us up halfway through and added their own invaluable touches. Refresh yourself in the heart of winter by anticipating, with us, the spring to come.
