This paper offers insights into how the teaching of queer topics in English language arts classes can be reframed by bridging the goals, practices and conceptual tools of queer theory to literacy teaching. Drawing on an ethnographic classroom study, which explored a 13-week high school Gay and Lesbian Literature course, this paper discusses how teaching an English literature curriculum centred on the voices and stories of LGBTQI people constitutes a meaningful site for learning and teaching. In the process, I show how a queer-themed literature curriculum not only intervenes disruptively into the heteronormative space of school through its content but also through pedagogical practices that open up new lines of thinking for understanding diverse sexualities and genders. Through vignettes from the classroom, I illustrate how queer moments were enacted in this high school course as the class (a) deconstructed literary and media texts; (b) used moments of discomfort for learning; (c) produced counter-narratives through creative acts; and (d) engaged in experiential learning activities that troubled commonsense understandings of sexuality, sex and gender. The paper aims to provide educators and administrators with ideas on how a comprehensive queer-inclusive English literature curriculum can be implemented in high schools.

Comment les enseignants gays et lesbiens négocient-ils leurs identités professionnelles et sexuelles au travail, alors que ces identités sont construites comme s’excluant mutuellement, voire comme s’opposant mutuellement ? À l'aide d'entretiens et d'autres documents ethnographiques du Texas et de Californie, School's Outexplore comment les enseignants luttent pour créer une personnalité de classe qui équilibre qui ils sont et ce que l'on attend d'eux dans un climat d'homophobie omniprésente. L'examen par Catherine Connell de la tension entre la rhétorique de la fierté gay et l'éthique professionnelle de la discrétion relie et considère de manière perspicace des facteurs compliquants, depuis la loi et la politique locales jusqu'au privilège de genre. Elle décrit également comment les discours racialisés sur l’homophobie contrecarrent les contestations des injustices sexuelles dans les écoles. Écrit avec une verve ethnographique, School's Out est une lecture essentielle pour les spécialistes et les étudiants des études queer, des études de genre et des politiques éducatives.

This article offers insights on how students experienced and made sense of their learning in a trimester-long high school Gay and Lesbian Literature course. Drawing on questionnaires and interviews that the students completed as part of a larger ethnographic study of this class, the author shows how a queer-themed literature curriculum is relevant for both LGBTQ-identifying and straight-identifying students and contributes to a better school climate.

« Le but de cette publication est d’offrir un guide succinct visant à initier aux modes de féminisation. Il vise surtout à encourager les pratiques de féminisation au quotidien, autant dans les activités courantes que dans la vie académique. Il vise également à étendre les pratiques de féminisation au-delà des milieux militants et féministes, en proposant une pluralité de modes de féminisation qui puissent convenir aux plus de contextes possible. Finalement, il propose aux personnes intéressées des guides et des ressources pertinentes pour approfondir le sujet. » (2014, 1) ***

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) characters do exist in children’s and young adult literature, yet there is a lack of classroom exposure to such literature. Educational organizations have realized the need for dispelling prejudices about LGBT people by including such texts in the classroom as well as discussions regarding LGBT themes and characters in the books. Yet the practice of simply including diverse texts without discussing LGBT issues could cause greater marginalization for students because the silence regarding LGBT issues and characters encourages the practice of heteronormativity. This inquiry examined a range of children’s and adolescent books that could be used in classroom discussions to develop insight about LGBT themes and characters in order to understand if the texts were saturated with LGBT themes and characters to the point that teachers and students could not avoid the LGBT factors while reading.
