'Queer as Friends' is a practice-based creative non-fiction PhD project which interweaves confessional memoir and personal storytelling with queer feminist theoretical discourse. It proposes a manifesto for unconventional friendships between women in a full-length publication-ready manuscript. It is intended to be both an autoethnographic approach to scholarship and a celebration of queer friendships as a feminist act. The narrative is an experimental non-chronological patchwork of micro-chapters comprising mixed forms including prose, poetry, script, postcard and email. Encompassing intimate details, anecdotes and experiences from ten of my own unconventional, boundary-crossing, hard-to-label friendships, their disruptive potential and radical effects will be uncovered and examined. This builds on the emerging field of creative non-fiction by women writers, books and projects that successfully blend memoir with qualitative research (Gilbert 2007, Moran 2011, Russell 2016, Nelson 2015, Wilby 2017). The project's critical component is integral and closely aligned with the creative piece. Through self-reflection, interviews, multi-disciplinary secondary research and literary investigation, I will explore the practice of writing the self as queer feminist methodology, in order to address the question: why is creative writing not yet widely accepted as scholarship?Building on the theoretical traditions of Irigaray, Foucault, Butler and Sedgwick, the central theses are that the reshaping of friendships lies within a queering of them to challenge the binaries of a heteronormative framework, and that authentic autobiographical storytelling is a critical methodology for queer feminists.Tedlock claims, 'Now is the time for passionate, ethnographic memoir...in which a performer "is telling it like it is"' (332). 'Queer as Friends' is important during this climate of political disharmony, in light of global activism such as #RiseUp and to follow the lead from boundary blurring queer/feminist-academic/mainstream texts such as 'The Argonauts' (Nelson, 2015). It will contribute significantly to discourse of academia through content, form and critical reflection.

“ Queer As Friends”是一个基于实践的创意非小说博士学位项目，将供词回忆录和个人讲故事与酷儿女权主义理论话语交织在一起。它提出了一份全长出版物准备手稿中女性之间非常规友谊的宣言。它既是既是奖学金的一种自通术方法，又是对女权主义行为的酷儿友谊的庆祝。叙述是一个实验性的非教学拼布，包括包括散文，诗歌，剧本，明信片和电子邮件在内的混合形式。涵盖了我自己的十个非常规，跨界，难以贴标签的友谊的亲密细节，轶事和经验，它们的破坏性和根本性的影响将被发现和检查。这建立在女性作家，书籍和项目的创造性非小说中的新兴领域，这些领域成功地将回忆录与定性研究融为一体（Gilbert 2007，Moran 2011，Russell 2016，2016年，Nelson 2015，Wilby 2017）。该项目的关键组成部分是不可或缺的，并且与创意作品紧密相符。通过自我反思，访谈，多学科的二级研究和文学调查，我将探索将自我作为酷儿女性主义方法论写作的做法，以解决以下问题：为什么创造性的写作尚未被广泛接受为奖学金？建立在奖学金的基础上？在理论上，艾里加莱（Irigaray），福卡（Foucault），巴特勒（Foucault），巴特勒（Foucault），巴特勒（qucault），巴特勒（qucault），巴特格（quecault），索尔德（quecault）的主题是一个友谊，是一个友谊，是一个友谊，是一个友谊，是一个友谊，是一个友谊的友谊。异规范框架的二进制文件和真实的自传讲故事是对酷儿女权主义者的关键方法。鉴于#Riseup等全球行动主义，“酷儿作为朋友”在这种政治不和谐的气氛中很重要，并遵循边界模糊的酷儿/女权主义/女权主义/主流文本（例如“ Argonauts”）（Nelson，2015年）。通过内容，形式和批判性思考，它将为学术界的讨论做出重大贡献。
