Mobilizing LGBTQ-themed literature and queer pedagogies in K-12 classrooms: Towards school contexts that help LGBTQ students learn and flourish
Fri, December 2, 1:15 to 2:45pm, Omni Nashville, Floor: Level 3, Cumberland 6Session Submission Type: Symposium
Abstract
This symposium explores the possibilities for school curricula and classroom pedagogies to become sites for interrupting heteronormativity and transforming schools into contexts that help LGBTQ people and their allies learn and flourish. To provide a multifaceted discussion of current questions in queer literacy research, we examine a range of age levels, regional contexts, and research concerns, including multimodality, pedagogy, youth literacy practices, and the sociopolitical contexts of school districts.
