Certain bodies in uncertain fields: Thinking about gender through queer theory and quantum mechanics
written by Alexis Buzzell and Ramón S. Barthelemy
This paper explores the potential for marginalized perspectives to deepen our understanding of complex phenomena in quantum theory. Grounded in Standpoint Theory and Intersectionality, it analyzes how marginalized identities offer unique epistemological advantages that challenge traditional narratives. Drawing parallels between classical and quantum physics and theories in gender and identity, this paper examines the ontological frameworks within each domain. Classical physics, characterized by determinism, mirrors biological determinism in gender studies, while quantum physics introduces probabilistic elements similar to Butler's performance theory of gender. By embracing the fluidity and complexity of identity, this paper challenges rigid conceptions to foster inclusivity in the production of knowledge. This study underscores the importance of integrating diverse perspectives in physics and physics education.
