Zusammenfassung:	This book engages with the concept "queer battle fatigue," which is the everyday exhaustion that LGBTQIA+ people and communities often experience from anti-queer norms and values. Contributors express how this concept is often experienced across spaces and places, from schools to communities.Queer Battle Fatigue is one way to express the everyday exhaustion that LGBTQIA+ people and communities often feel that is a result sociopolitical and cultural anti-queer norms and values. In this volume, contributors think about how queer battle fatigue hits bodies and their multiple ways of being, knowing, and doing. Chapters describe how such violence flows from early childhood experiences to universities and across community spaces. Contributors also describe how people and communities resist and refuse anti-queer norms and values, carving out pathways to live, love, and have joy despite everyday oppressions. From calling on Black queer ancestors, to using STEM education as a safe space, to artistic representations of identities, the chapters in Queer Battle Fatigue ask readers to consider how to disrupt and deconstruct anti-queer norms while also engaging in the many beautiful forms of queer joy as an act of resistance.Queer Battle Fatigue will be a key resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of Education, Qualitative Research, Queer Theory and Gender Studies, Educational Research and Curiculum Studies. The chapters included in this book were originally published as a special issue of International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education
