Abstract
This panel explores how queer studies as history, theory, and method can disrupt how we understand the field of America and the world. The roundtable will move in multiple registers as participants discuss their efforts to make visible what has gone unseen about LGBTQ lives and experiences in the writing of American history on a transnational canvas, to push back on conventional notions of power and how it is exercised in the world and to reconceive power relations in spaces as intimate as the bedroom or a geopolitically spacious as the United Nations.
