This dissertation uses techniques from the theory of categorical actions of Kac-Moody algebras to study the analog of the BGG category O for the queer Lie superalgebra. Chen recently reduced many questions about this category to its so-called types A, B, and C blocks. The type A blocks were completely described in joint work with Brundan in terms of the general linear Lie superalgebra. This dissertation proves that the type C blocks admit the structure of a tensor product categorification of the n-fold tensor power of the natural sp_\infty-module. Using this result, we relate the combinatorics for these blocks to Webster’s orthodox bases for the quantum group of type C_\infty, verifying the truth of a recent conjecture of Cheng-Kwon-Wang. This dissertation contains coauthored material.
