Session Submission Summary

Frictions and Freedoms of LGBTQ Activism in Literacy Research and Education

Fri, November 30, 8:30 to 10:00am, Renaissance Indian Wells, Floor: Terrace Level, Crystal H

Session Submission Type: Symposium

Abstract

Examining a range of stakeholders, age levels, and educational contexts, this symposium explores critical questions concerning relationships among queer lives, literacy, and activism. Through documenting and theorizing frictions and freedoms of literacy and literacy education for LGBTQ people, we resist and reshape dominant heteronormative, cisnormative, and homonormative literacy / research practices to reimagine such practices in more humanizing ways. In so doing, this panel makes space for diverse expressions of queerness, in and beyond classrooms.
