This is Volume 3, Number 1 Spring 2008 edition of Museums and Special Issues reflective discourse journal. The complexity and the power associated with language is evident in the many disciplines, books, courses and talk shows that focus on the disparate ways we use and interpret words. This edition looks at ‘ What is Queer?’ and attempts to reframe the conversation, giving a chance to renegotiate how we talk about gender, sexuality, and identity as separate and vital concepts.
