About this book

This book advances a broad constellation of critical concepts situated within the field of queer studies and education. Collectively, the concepts take up a cross-section of scholarship that speaks to various political, epistemological, theoretical, methodological, and pedagogical concerns. Given the ongoing global centrality of sociocultural and political developments related to the topic of LGBTQ in the twenty-first century, the concepts in this volume and the issues raised by each contributor will have wide international appeal among researchers, scholars, educators, students, and activists working at the intersection of queer studies and education.

Reviews

“Critical concepts in queer studies and education has much to offer scholars working within or interested in learning more about queer studies and education. … It contains an expansive range of contributors investigating topics … which presents readers many resources for considering the current state of queer educational research along with future directions. … It is a valuable book that continues to advance queer praxis in its myriad of forms, and invites readers to join them in this important work.” (Ryan Schey, Journal of LGBT Youth, Vol. 14, 2017)
