Queer Studies in Education
This course provides opportunity for discussion and reflection on language and concepts
surrounding gender and sexuality. Drawing upon Queer Theory, the course will
encourage the disruption of stereotypes, problematize limiting discourses, and provide
expansive teaching practices that are inclusive and respectful of all identities.
Throughout this course, you will be invited to consider how our gender and sexual
identities shape and are shaped by institutions and curriculum – both written and
enacted. The course will integrate children’s literature as entry points to discussion on
gender and sexuality. By developing a greater sense of self and others, this course will
foster empathy and bravery among educators to navigate sensitive conversations and
establish classrooms that embrace all genders, sexualities, and families.
Registration Notes: Only available to Bachelor of Education students.
