Intersectionality Paper Proposal

abradycole's picture

For my intersectionality paper I'm going to be writing about the intersecions of sexuality, class, race and sartorial expression. By using the website Qwear http://www.qwearfashion.com/  (a queer fashion blog) and this Autostraddle article which documents six queer women's styles and fashion inspirations: http://www.autostraddle.com/he-saidwe-said-in-the-city-of-brotherly-love-267820/ I want to examine how expressions of queer identity are stratified and legitimized in different ways depending on one's intersecting identities. I'm particularly interested in looking at some of the more popular brands among masculine of center queer women with a focus on price and accessibility.
