Thank you for your contributions to "Queer of Color Critique." You provided robust and thorough information that enhances the overall article and provides more contextual insight into the history of the methodology. My suggestions speak mostly to citations and small edits. For example, in the beginning paragraph (“The queer of color critique is an intersectional framework, grounded in Black feminism, that analyzes how power dynamics associated with identities of race, class, gender expression, sexuality, ability, culture and nationality influence the lived experiences of individuals and groups holding one or more of these identities.” ) I wondered if this needed to be referenced since you are defining the framework for the reader and this is the first time the term is introduced. Another example would be when you reference the book (Roderick Ferguson in The Aberrations in Black: Toward a Queer of Color Critique in 2004), I would add a reference here as well. I noticed you hyperlinked the Combahee River Collective and I would also add a reference for the work. Are you planning to also expand on the other authors and contributors you mentioned (Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw)? I appreciated that you made space for the theoretical forerunners as you mentioned, including how each of these authors and advocates contributed to the queer of color critique. I also liked your application of Gloria Anzaldua’s work and how it speaks to a more global perspective of queer theory. Your additions were a pleasure to read.
