Queer Teaching - Teaching Queer

<p>This book draws upon contemporary Irish and international research which explores the critical interplay between education studies and sexualities. </p><p></p><p>Scholars from Ireland Canada Spain the U.K. and Sweden employ the conceptual lens of Queer Theory to interrogate and destabilise long-standing regimes of truth/knowledge and in so doing highlight the suitability and applicability of this theoretical perspective within educational discourses. By reframing and repositioning gender identity/expression as a performative expression on a fluid continuum this book provokes readers to (re)view how they see education pedagogy and schooling. The book interrogates what happens to teaching and teachers when <i>queerness</i> permeates their practice thus exposing the ways in which heteronormativity informs and shapes our places/sites of education.</p><p></p><p>This book was originally published as a special issue of the <i>Irish Educational Studies </i>journal.</p>
