Is There a Queer Pedagogy? Or, Stop Reading Straight.

Britzman, Deborah P.

Educational Theory, v45 n2 p151-65 Spr 1995

Examines issues raised when "Queer Theory" (gay and lesbian theory) comes into tension with education and general pedagogy. The paper uses the study of limits, of ignorance, and of reading practices to discuss specific aspects of "Queer Theory" and what they might offer to the rethinking of pedagogy and knowledge. (SM)
