16.027 - Educators Queering Academia: Critical Memoirs

Thu, April 27, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Grand Hyatt San Antonio, Floor: Second Floor, Lone Star Ballroom Salon F

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

These memoirs represent a cross-section of critical reflections by a queerly diverse set of individuals on their experiences inhabiting a variety of spaces within the field of education. The authors share how they queered and are continuing to queer the academy in relation to questions of teaching, research, policy, and/or administration. Their memoirs speak across generations of queer educators and scholars including the senior, mid, and junior levels, post-docs, as well as the doctoral level, and collectively their work highlights an array of theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches. As snapshots in time, these memoirs provide perspective on the issues facing queers in the academy across various intersections of identities.
