Queer and trans* geographies of liminality: A literature review

This article brings together work from across the fields of queer geographies, geographies of sexualities, and trans* geographies to consider the ways in which these fields offer important insights into the question of liminality. Queer and trans* approaches question presumptions about norms and being upon which many geographical understandings of liminality currently rely. I highlight queer and trans* approaches to the topic that unsettle existing binary constructs, and foreground an everyday lived, experiential realm of in-betweenness that brings new stakes into the currently conceptualized political dimensions of liminality. I seek to bring attention to queer and trans* work on liminality and propose that it is relevant to spatial theory and human geography more broadly.
