| Abstract: | The job search success of recent doctoral recipients in the humanities and social sciences who submitted dissertations on queer topics was compared to the job search success of a control group. Members of the queer group were more likely to be employed in academe. Writing on a general queer topic, graduating from prestigious institutions, and publishing books or articles were found to be significant predictors of a successful academic job search. The results are discussed within the theoretical context of queer theory. |
