This book is a collection of chapters and response essays that seek to take up key tensions, possibilities, and gaps in the field of queer and trans studies in education. The authors work across contexts and engage a range of theoretical, methodological, and practical issues with an eye toward building generative futures in the field.

Growing out of a series of discussions and gatherings over the course of more than two years, Bridging the Rainbow Gap is a collection of chapters and response essays that take up key tensions, gaps, and possibilities in queer and trans scholarship in education. Working across K-12, higher education, and other education disciplines, the authors in the volume take up themes of identity development, ethnography, young adult literature, queer joy, queer potentiality, ideology, emerging issues in trans studies, whiteness in queer studies, and futures in queer and trans studies. Collectively, the book serves as an invitation into generative conversations about what queer and trans studies are, what they can be, and what they might do in education.

Strunk, Ph.D. (2012), Oklahoma State University, is Associate Professor of Research Methodology in the School of Education at Virginia Commonwealth University.
