Imagining Possible Futures with Mark Jordan's *Queer Callings*

.

Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)

Using Mark Jordan's Queer Callings: Untimely Notes on Names and Desires (Fordham, 2023) as a jumping-off point, this roundtable considers the possible futures into which it invites its readers. If the history of identity shows it as a tool that carries with it constrictions that may limit the possibilities through which queer and trans people understand themselves, how do we write into new (or rework old) languages of sexuality and spirituality? How do we honor the role that spirituality, as a non-teleological openness to what has not been captured by the forces that insist on thingifying the world, has played in the lives and work of queer and trans people?
