Publisher's Synopsis
Queers Teach This! threads together historical and philosophical arguments from thinkers, activists, and artists who have in various ways pushed against the history of queer erasure and violence in educational thought. Drawing inspiration from Jane Roland Martin's landmark feminist text Reclaiming a Conversation: The Ideal of the Educated Woman (1987), this open access book focuses on the lessons offered by the Marquis de Sade, James Baldwin, S.T.A.R., and ACT-UP. Schools and universities, as institutions, have been and continue to be fraught places for queer and trans subjects coming into presence as such subjects emerge in relationship to competing ideas, practices, and discursive landscapes. Greteman looks at the ways in which education subjects students - LGBTQ or otherwise - to the potentials of "queerness". The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
