Infos

This book blends multiple research studies, historical and current events, reflective teaching examples, and guidance for LGBTQ+ inclusion and queer pedagogy in elementary schools. It is divided into three sections to guide the readers from a broad understanding of the hxstories of LGBTQ+ discriminations, rights, and some communities' resistance to LGBTQ+ children, teachers, and curriculum to a focused invitation into the author's own reflections, teaching, and discussions with children about LGBTQ+ literature and topics. The volume provides hxstories, theoretical and methodological inquiry, resources, and encouragement for teacher-researchers ready to engage LGBTQ+-inclusion and queer literacy pedagogy in their classrooms, schools, and communities.

Selena E. Van Horn is Associate Professor of Literacy Education and Qualitative Research at California State University, Fresno, USA. She is a former elementary school teacher and continues to research with elementary school teachers and students. She consults for school districts and Educators/administrators interested in LGBTQ+ inclusion and hosts a teacher book club. Her research interests include LGBTQ+-inclusion, queer pedagogy, children's literature, arts-based research/pedagogy, and working for equity and social justice with teachers.
