Queer Theory in HCI

The application of queer theory to human-computer interaction research and design, challenging heteronormative and binary assumptions embedded in technology. Queer theory in HCI questions how technologies enforce normative identities around gender, sexuality, and embodiment, and explores how design can be more inclusive of LGBTQIA+ experiences. In accessibility, queer perspectives intersect with disability to highlight how multiply marginalized people experience technology differently, and to advocate for designs that support diverse ways of being rather than enforcing conformity.
