In this final double special issue edited by Jenny Björklund and Ulrika Dahl, lambda nordica takes stock of the queer moment and looks forward into the new decade. A range of scholars offer short entries on crucial concepts that they propose will help us develop queer studies and research on LGBTQI+ issues in the 2020s. While it would be unqueer to lock in precise definitions of terms or to suggest that these concepts will solve all the world’s problems, contributors both revisit familiar terms and point us in new directions. Taken together this issue is a lexicon of interrelated and relational concepts and queer phenomena that offers a complex map of the present and of the vast knowledge of queer scholars. The outgoing editors also offer some reflections of their decade with lambda nordica.
