<p class="xxmsonormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Scholarship on LGBT+ experiences, narratives, and representations has grown in recent years, but regional studies on queer media cultures, particularly
in Australian and New Zealand contexts, remains under-researched or fragmented across myriad fields. This special issue seeks to consolidate research on Australian and New Zealand queer contexts, where the regional nuances of colonialism, indigeneity and globalisation
have held specific implications for LGBT+ communities. It aims to incorporate papers that interrogate the nuances and manifestations of regional sexual and gender politics, and the concurrent dynamics between media and popular culture and queer contexts in
Australia and New Zealand. Through drawing attention to the importance of place, ethnicity and regionality in discussions of LGBT+ media and popular culture, this special issue of
<i>Queer Studies in Media and Popular Culture </i>will offer a cohesive volume that gives insights into innovative and timely LGBT+ research within the region.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xxmsonormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">We invite papers that pay critical attention to LGBT+ experiences, narratives and representations in the Australia-New Zealand nexus. This may include
explorations of how the intersecting trajectories of marginality and (in)visibility shape queer experiences of, and representations within, media and popular culture in Australian and New Zealand contexts, or examinations of the localised complexities and
contestations of queer representations in popular cultures. We invite submissions in the areas of queer geographies, regional media studies, and popular culture, and also the often overlooked complexities and inter-regionalities of queer studies within Australian
and New Zealand paradigms. We invite proposals which explore, but are not restricted to, the following areas: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
