Queer Teachers, Identity and Performativity

A. Harris, E. Gray

Palgrave Macmillan UK, Jul 11, 2014 - Social Science - 118 pages

What do we mean when we talk about 'queer teachers'? The authors here grapple with what it means to be sexually or gender diverse and to work as a school teacher within four national contexts: Australia, Ireland, the UK and the USA. This new volume offers academics, educators and students a provocative exploration of this pivotal topic.
