However, various subpopulations within the larger student body may engage hookup culture differently. Yet extant research about hookup culture on college campuses has privileged a heteronormative lens and heterosexual experiences. In contrast, this study utilizes queer theory to focus on the perspectives of women who identify as queer. Specifically, analysis of in-depth interviews with queer college women about hookup culture reveals three intersecting and overlapping tensions: (a) a tension between the pragmatics of exploiting sexual freedom and dissociating from hookup culture; (b) a tension between unbounded identity tourism and bounded bisexuality identity; and (c) a tension between conforming to and resisting gender stereotypes. Taken together, these tensions surface theoretical divisions in (1) gender role expectations in heteronormative and queer hookups; and (2) transgression between hookups and dating that create a third space. This study offers practical guidance for future research and implications about queer college women’s perceptions of and engagement with hookup culture. 2017-05-12 English text Kent State University Honors College / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ksuhonors1494156874313028 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ksuhonors1494156874313028 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
