This work draws on our authors’ experiences as Queer researchers and allies, navigating a field that is ostensibly receptive to our work, yet provides a narrow framework for acceptable research. We relate personal accounts of contending with identity, practice, and publication; we discuss what joy means to us, and the gap we see in Queer HCI where joy should exist. We believe that Queer HCI and research can itself be subversive, and assert that it needs to be in order for our research community to flourish. Our work emerges from a need for Queer joy in our research practice, and we approach Queerness as a multifaceted experience that by nature resists the categorisation that we often see in HCI. Finally, we present reflective guidelines for future work, that will allow us achieve inclusive, intentional, and joyful research date: 2025-04-26 date_type: published publisher: ACM official_url: https://chi2025.acm.org/ full_text_type: other language: eng verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2368471 doi: 10.1145/3706599.3716221 lyricists_name: Feng, Yifan lyricists_id: YFENB73 actors_name: Feng, Yifan actors_id: YFENB73 actors_role: owner full_text_status: restricted pres_type: paper series: CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems publication: Extended Abstracts of the CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems volume: 2025 place_of_pub: New York, NY, United States event_title: CHI '25: CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems event_location: Yokohama, Japan book_title: Extended Abstracts of the CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems citation: O’Reilly-Kime, Molly; Feng, Yifan; Cipelli, Francesca; Osipova, Ekat; Kender, Kay; Steeds, Madeleine; Clinch, Sarah; ...
