This collection makes a significant contribution to our understanding of queer theory as a queer share, highlighting the urgent need to redistribute resources in the university context, where stark material disparities and embedded gendered, racial, national, and class inequalities exist. The authors, situated from diverse and precarious to relatively secure positions, explore the evolving politics of queer theory and the diverse practices of queers as they navigate their journey from the margins to the academic mainstream. Contributors engage in queer redistributions across various tiers of the class-stratified academy, spanning the UK, the US, Australia, Armenia, Canada, and Spain. They critically examine academic hierarchy as a colonial knowledge-making system and investigate class contradictions through first-generation epistemologies, feminist care work during the pandemic, Black working-class visibility, non-peer institutional collaborations, and student labor.

The volume reflects a commitment to interdisciplinary empirical and theoretical approaches and methodologies across anthropology, Black studies, cultural studies, education, feminist and women's studies, geography, Latinx studies, performance studies, postcolonial studies, public health, transgender studies, sociology, student affairs, and queer studies. This book serves as a valuable resource for readers seeking to deepen their understanding of the broad class-based knowledge project that has become a defining aspect of the field of queer studies.
