The last two decades have witnessed critical intersections of decolonial theorisation and queer studies, resulting in a disparate and uneven formation of decolonial queer thinking. Borrowing from genealogies of transnational feminisms, queer of colour critique, and queer race and migration studies inter alia, this newly emerging field of inquiry has allowed nuanced and extended analyses of contemporary power imbalance instituted through mechanisms of domination in colonial and postcolonial times. Despite an expanding body of literature, substantial obfuscations pertaining to the import of decolonial queer thinking are prevalent. This talk therefore engages critical thought that has developed through the crossing of decolonial and queer theorisations. It provides an overview of the genealogical influences, points of cross-connections, and characteristics of decolonial queer thinking, currently being articulated in interdisciplinary and various geographical sites.
