Q+ Public

SERIES EDITORS: E.G. CRICHTON AND JEFFREY ESCOFFIER (2018 - 2022)

Q+Public is a limited series of curated volumes that follow in the tradition of the seminal journal OUT/ LOOK: National Lesbian and Gay Quarterly OUT/LOOK was a political and cultural quarterly published out of San Francisco from 1988 to 1992. It was the first publication to bring together lesbians and gay men after a decade or more of political and cultural separatism. It was consciously multi-gender and racially inclusive, addressed politics and culture, wrested with controversial topics, and emphasized visual material along with scholarly and creative writing. OUT/LOOK built a bridge between academic inquiry and the broader community. Q+Public promises to bring OUT/LOOK’s political and cultural agenda into the 21st century, to revitalize a queer public sphere, and to bring together intellectuals, activists and artists to explore questions that urgently concern all LGBTQ communities.
