In February 2023, we convened the first workshop dedicated to queer bibliography. The scholarship showcased during the symposium and emerging from it was and is significant, but perhaps at least of equal importance has been the development of a vibrant, supportive intellectual and practice-based community that has coalesced around this area. Such was the importance of this experience and meeting place that by consensus what was intended as a one-off workshop has inaugurated an annual, international movable conference. In this article, we reflect on how the workshop and its arrangement responds and relates to queer and feminist critiques of higher education. Starting from marginal and precarious positions, we consider how we worked to build a safe space for discussion and to foster a community of care. We reflect on how together, as well as producing scholarship, we endeavored to practice radical openness and create the conditions for queer thriving.
