EDUC 2800 Topics: Queering Topics in Education
In this course we will bring critical and queer theoretical perspectives to bear on our inquiry into what’s counted as “normal” in the social, historical, and political contexts of K-12 education in the United States. We will begin by examining schooling as a heteronormative institution that has tended toward (re)producing heterosexism, homophobia, and violence against queer bodies and identities, and we will use queer theory as a means for interrupting that narrative. That is, we will explore what queer theory can offer policy-makers, administrators, teachers, learners, and school communities aiming toward anti-oppressive and liberating pedagogies and practices. We will examine policy, curricula, and models of practice to inquire into what’s involved in organizing classrooms and schools that are safer and more affirming of gender and sexual diversity. While the constructs of gender and sexuality will be central to our exploration, our work in this course will be to trouble ideas of diversity and inclusion and to disrupt “ways that we traditionally comply with oppression” (Kumashiro, 2001), in all of its forms. As participants in the course, we will not only think with these theories, but put them to work in practice.
