[Translate to EN:]

Making complaints often means “minding the gap” between how things appear to be and how they are. The lecture shows how complaints can be a form of diversity work: the work you have to do because you do not (quite) embody the norms of an institution. It also reflects on complaints in relation to queer use, as the political work of opening up spaces to enable them to be used by those for whom they were not intended.
