- LGBTQ+ Identities In and Beyond Schools

Catalog description

The goal of this course is to examine the historical and contemporary experiences of LGBTQ+ students and teachers in schooling and to consider, more broadly, schools as sites where normative notions of gender, sex, and sexuality can be reinforced and/or disrupted. Relatedly, the seminar will support students in the development of habits of mind, strategies, and practices that (re)make school spaces where diverse gender identities and sexualities are acknowledged, imagined, and embodied, and queer futurity (Muñoz, 2009) can be realized.
