User talk:Crimsonmucha/Queer Archaeology

Queer archaeology utilizes a lens focused in queer theory with which to examine archaeology. Archaeology uses queer theory in order to explore alternative views with which to examine the fossil and historical records. Queer archaeology is a subset of feminist archaeology, and is more focused in lesbian and gay perspectives.

I like this entry, although I think it would probably be more effective if it were to devote as much attention to specific examples as it did to the history of professional associations. Note that I have added many hyperlinks throughout, since it is these that help integrate the entry more firmly into Wikipedia as a whole. I recommend that you edit other relevant entries so that they point to this one, which will go even further towards connecting relevant information. In the interest of balance, it would have been good to see some further critiques, both positive and negative, about the value of queer archaeology. If it's an ideological approach, does that run the risk of contributing additional subjectivity to what is supposed to be objective science? Who are the authors that have critiqued queer archaeology and its contributions? Hoopes (talk) 21:15, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
