Synopsis

LGBTQ Voices in Education: Changing the Culture of Schooling addresses the ways in which teachers can meet the needs of LGBTQ students and improve the culture surrounding gender, sexuality, and identity issues in formal learning environments. Written by experts from a variety of backgrounds including educational foundations, leadership, cultural studies, literacy, criminology, theology, media assessment, and more, these chapters are designed to help educators find the inspiration and support they need to become allies and advocates of queer students, whose safety, well-being, and academic performance are regularly and often systemically threatened. Emphasizing socially just curricula, supportive school climates, and transformative educational practices, this innovative book is applicable to K-12, college-level, and graduate settings, and beyond.

Review:

"From politicians to pundits to peers, we can hear homophobia normalized and routinized daily, but we can also insist that they not be what frame our experiences or our education, as is the call of Bloomfield, Fisher, and colleagues in this important new book. LGBTQ Voices in Education brings together a refreshingly diverse mix of scholars and educators from various disciplines to inspire changes that educators across grade levels and educational sessions can and should make possible for all of our students."

--Kevin Kumashiro, Dean and Professor of the School of Education at the University of San Francisco, USA, and author of Against Common Sense: Teaching and Learning toward Social Justice
