How to Queer Your Curriculum ... Because the "Why" Takes Too Long
In this workshop, we will explore practical ways to make your curriculum more reflective of LGBTQ+ communities. We will spend time, in groups, deconstructing hetero-normative materials and brainstorming alternatives that change this narrative. Once we gather our ideas, we will use the remaining time to create a list of activities and resources that can be used in the classroom Monday morning. This workshop is not meant to discuss the inherent value of incorporating LGBTQ+ voices in one’s curriculum, but makes the assumption that the value is understood and offers ways to build on that foundation.
