Abstract

This symposium examines K-12 enactments of queer literacy curricula and what these reveal about literacy and queering as social processes, the epistemologies these enactments entail, and the tensions that emerge for teachers and students. Panelist draw from multi-year research in multiple sites across urban, rural, and suburban schools to theorize the work that teachers and teacher educators must do in order to better support sexually and gender diverse students through school curricula.
