A page of handwritten text and line drawings. The title reads: 'Queer Health'. Underneath a single line reads: 'Queer approaches understand us as inevitably...'. Below is a drawing of three concentric circles. In the centre is a person with the word 'embodied' underneath. The second circle, which is headed by the word 'Entangled', contains: an image of a house in a circle with the text 'living and working environments' next to it; a drawing of four stick figures in a circle with the text 'our close people and their close people' next to it; a circle with a leaf and a fish in it with the text 'other beings we consume' in it; and a circle containing many abstract shapes accompanied by the text 'the bacteria, fungi and viruses inside and around us'. The outer circle, headed with the word 'Embedded', contains the following list, each accompanied by line drawings representing the item: 'time, history, ancestry, generations'; 'communities'; social systems, their norms and rules'; 'climate, biodiversity'; 'natural world'; 'built environment'; medical, legal, political, education etc. systems'. There are lines linking these different items to each other, and linking out to five text boxes. The word 'Embedded' links to a box stating: 'In our place and time, systems, structures, norms, what bodies, labour and lives are deemed valuable'; The word 'Entangled' links to: 'with other human and non-human beings within complex, ever-changing systems, networks, dynamics'; and the word 'embodied' links to: 'our body minds are inseparable, interrelated systems, carrying the impact of all our past experience and those of generations which preceded us'. On the left side one text box reads: 'No 'individuals'' and another reads: 'Who are the 'experts'?'.
